HTTP Servlet RequestDispatcher 'forward' has invalid request pathInfo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-2774
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2774
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HTTP Service
Affects Versions: http-2.0.4
Reporter: David Hay
I'm trying to have one servlet forward to another servlet. However, the
forwarding doesn't seem to work.
I've set up the proxy servlet in my web.xml as follows (and this is the only
servlet...no filters defined)
<servlet>
<servlet-name>osgi-servlet-bridge</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.felix.http.proxy.ProxyServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>osgi-servlet-bridge</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I then have two bundles, each registers a servlet under a different path (e.g.
bundle A registers under alias '/a' and bundle B registers under alias '/b')
using the whiteboard pattern. The implementation of servlet A ends up doing
this:
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/b/some/path");
rd.forward(request, response);
This finds the ServletHandler for servlet B just fine, but gets hung up in the
'handle' method. I think this is due to the implementation of the internal
RequestWrapper class in the ServletPipeline class. This implementation
overrides the getRequestURI method with the passed in value. However,
ServletHandler.handle passed the result of HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() to
the 'matches' method as a final check to make sure that the servlet should be
invoked. Since the RequestWrapper class does not override getPathInfo, it
returns the value from the original request....which is '/a' in my example.
