RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet
try req.getPathInfo() in place of getServletPath()
you can use getRequestURL() which will provide the requested URL that you
are trying to rebuild.

Subject: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet
OK -- I'm having a related problem:
I can hit my servlet with the following httpd.conf and
web.xml file setup
with these two URLs:
http://hostname:8080/s2/sb/
And
http://hostname/SiteBlocks/sb/
From within the servlet, I am trying to reconstruct the URL.
I am using the
following code:
...
private String buildURL( HttpServletRequest req ) {
// Build a new absolute URL
StringBuffer url = new StringBuffer();
url.append( req.getScheme() ); // http
url.append( :// );// http://
url.append( req.getServerName() ); // http://hostname
url.append( : ); // http://hostname:
url.append( req.getServerPort() ); // http://hostname:80
url.append( req.getServletPath() ); //
http://hostname:80/SiteBlocks/sb
return url.toString();
}
...
Unfortunately, the URL this produces is either:
http://hostname:8080/sb or http://hostname/sb,
and not
http://hostname:8080/s2/sb or http://hostname/SiteBlocks/sb
as expected.
Am I doing something wrong? If so, how can I get the desired result?
Thanks for any assistance!
Here's an excerpt from my httpd.conf file:
...
IfModule od_webapp.c
WebAppConnection warpconnection warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/
WebAppDeploy SiteBlocks warpConnection /SiteBlocks/
/IfModule
...

This is basic stuff. It should work. What URL are you using
to invoke the
servlet? With no mapping the URL would be
http://server/servlet/warservlet.
If your mapping is
url-pattern/blah/url-pattern
then the URL would be http://server/blah. Restart Tomcat to
be sure your
changes take effect.

RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet
If the URL is: http://hostname/context/servlet/xxx
Then:
req.getPathInfo() returns: /xxx
req.getRequestURI() returns:/context/servlet/xxx
req.getServletPath() returns: /servlet
How do I get just: /context/servlet
OR
How do I get Apache or Tomcat to respond to: http://hostname/servlet/xxx?
Thanks

RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet
I appreciate the help, but this still does not solve my problem. You see, I need to handle URLs of the following forms: http://hostname/context/servlet/xxx as well as: http://hostname/context/servlet With your suggestion, I would be truncating these to: http://hostname/context/servlet and http://hostname/context Respectively. The first behavior is desirable, the second is not! What I do not understand is why Apache and Tomcat conspire hide the 'context' element of the URL. I either need to find a way to isolate and retrieve the full path to the servlet (/context/servlet) or I need to find a way to set up Apache and Tomcat to recognize a URL that does not contain a context component (/servlet). Why does getServletPath() not return the whole path to the servlet, including its context, if this information is, in fact, required to access the servlet with a URL!? Any suggestions?

RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet
I think that this approach is very close to what you want. Instead of lastIndexOf(/) you could do lastIndexOf (or indexOf) getServletName. Another alternative would be to use lastIndexOf(getPathInfo()) on the request URI. As to why the methods return what they do, its because the spec says so. Randy -Original Message- From: Mark B.

RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet
Thanks, Randy. I think this will work. I thought of doing this, but thought that there must be an existing method for extracting this information. This solution, though workable, seems like a kludge. Is Apache's concept of 'contexts' spec'd? If so, doesn't it seem logical that there should be a way of determining what the 'context' is separate from the 'servlet', and visa versa, without resorting to custom string parsing? Anyway, back to work. Again, thank you for your help. - mbi == Mark Indictor -- Site2 Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.site2.com Phone:(310)451-3472 FAX:(240)220-6341 http://keyserver.pgp.com/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x8959F966 == -Original Message- From: Randy Layman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 10:33 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: REPOST: Please HELP!: URL Mapping Problems in servlet I think that this approach is very close to what you want.
