Hi everyone

The Acegi Security System for Spring (http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net)
uses HttpServletRequest getters in a filter. I do all the development of the
project using Jetty, but we've had a report of problems with WebSphere
5.1.1. I'm writing to the Jetty list in the hope of gaining some
clarification as to the correct behaviour of different HttpServletRequest
getters.

Here are our filter logging directives:

logger.debug("REQ url: " + httpRequest.getRequestURL());
logger.debug("REQ servlet path: " + httpRequest.getServletPath());
logger.debug("REQ context path: " + httpRequest.getContextPath());
logger.debug("REQ path info: " + httpRequest.getPathInfo());
logger.debug("REQ path translated " + httpRequest.getPathTranslated());
logger.debug("REQ request url: " + httpRequest.getRequestURL());

Using Jetty 4.2.17 it returns:

REQ url: http://localhost:8080/contacts/j_acegi_security_check
REQ servlet path: /j_acegi_security_check
REQ context path: /contacts
REQ path info: null
REQ path translated null
REQ request url: http://localhost:8080/contacts/j_acegi_security_check

Using WebSphere 5.1.1 (on a different machine) it returns:

REQ url: http://localhost:9080/Permit/j_acegi_security_check 
REQ servlet path: / 
REQ context path: /Permit 
REQ path info: j_acegi_security_check 
REQ path translated
/home/mark/Repositories/permit/PermitWeb/WebContent/j_acegi_security_check 
REQ request url: http://localhost:9080/Permit/j_acegi_security_check 


So, is getServletPath() and getPathInfo() correct for Jetty or WebSphere?
We're trying to detect the getServletPath() output as per Jetty (ie
/j_acegi_security_check) so we know our filter should do something.

Any advice appreciated.

Ben
