Hi,
URL rewriting and URL mapping are used to map a virtual page to a physical page. Difference is URL rewriting is used to map multiple pages according matching patterns, URL mapping is used to map a single page. By using URL routing, the URL is not changed when an incoming request is handled, because URL routing can extract values from the URL.Hope this will clarify the concept.
