Dear awarnier.
Ok, Now I found such WEB-INF directory (in my app it's 
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS76\webapps\webfocus76\WEB-INF), and followed the installation
and configuration steps.

1) copied urlrewrite.xml into such WEB-INF
2) edited web.xml with the below lines:
  <filter>
        <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>

<filter-class>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>
  <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
3) edited urlrewrite with my own rewriting config:
    <rule>
        <from>/car</from>
        <to type="redirect">/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=carinst</to>
    </rule>
4) copied urlrewrite-2.6.0.jar into WEB-INF/lib directory
5) restarted Tomcat

Though redirection didn't work, but furthermore when I try to see
http://localhost:8080/rewrite-status, I get the below error:

Estado HTTP 404 - /rewrite-status
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Informe de estado
mensaje /rewrite-status
descripción El recurso requerido (/rewrite-status) no está disponible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/5.5.25

Already looked into urlrewrite.xml and such rule is there:
    <rule>
        <note>
            The rule means that requests to /test/status/ will be redirected
to /rewrite-status
            the url will be rewritten.
        </note>
        <from>/test/status/</from>
        <to type="redirect">%{context-path}/rewrite-status</to>
    </rule>


WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
APPRECIATTE YOUR HELP ON THIS.
Rodrigo.
