Allow configuration of Http Service context path
------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-3295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3295
Project: Felix
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HTTP Service
Affects Versions: http-2.2.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Assignee: Felix Meschberger
Fix For: http-2.2.2
We have a need that we want our Http Service based application to not always
run on the root context path.
The use case is that we have a single reverse proxy in front of multiple
instances of our application and we forward to the different instances based on
the URL path. For simplicity we don't want to rewrite the paths and thus the
easiest thing is to run the instances with different context paths.
The proposed solution is simple: We add a new configuration property
"org.apache.felix.http.context_path" (named after the request property
"javax.servlet.include.context_path" indicating the context path on
RequestDispatcher.include). This defaults to "/" and may be any path with a
leading slash (enforced if missing) and no trailing slash (removed if provided).
The value of this property (or the default) is then used to create the Context
for Jetty.
This is also referred to by a post on the users list [1].
