Raise RewriteResponse without finding a valid url

Question

Hi, I have problems with Lift and URL correspondence. I wrote a simple rewrite rule:

LiftRules.rewrite.append { case RewriteRequest( ParsePath(List("user", userID), _, _, _), _, _) => { println(userID) RewriteResponse(List("viewUser"), Map("userID" -> urlDecode(userID))) } } 

So when I enter http: // localhost: 8080 / user / brian I expect the call to be made in the viewUser.html file that I placed in the webroot directory, The viewUser.html icon is very simple:

 <lift:surround with="default" at="content"> <p>ViewUser</p> </lift:surround> 

But instead of viewing viewUser, I get an error:

The requested URL / user / brian was not found on this server

Also, if I manually enter the viewUser URL: http: // localhost: 8080 / user / brian I get the same error.

I have no idea about this, I found a similar error that occurs through the SiteMap system.

I tried this with a clean archetype elevator project, adding viewUser.html and adding one piece of rewrite code.

Make sure you add "viewUser" to the sitemap. Without this, Lift does not know where to find the page.
