-----------------------------------
Summary: Make homepage working with default topology
Key: KNOX-2269
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-2269
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: Sandor Molnar
Assignee: Sandor Molnar
Fix For: 1.4.0
KNOX-2226 added the new Home Page to Knox which is bound to the default context
path in Jetty ({{/}}). However, this breaks the default topology feature: if a
default topology is declared (by setting {{default.app.topology.name}} in
{{gateway-site.xml}}) the homepage won't load.
Recommended solution:
# Add the Knox Home page like a regular Knox application rather than a generic
web app in the Knox Jetty server with web.xml, etc. This will allow it to be
deployed into topologies.
# Add a new topology (descriptor) called home.xml. This will allow for a
gateway URL like [https://gateway-host:8443/gateway/home] - for anyone already
familiar with Knox this would be pretty intuitive.
# The {{default.app.topology.name}} should default to '{{home'}}. So that, if
no custom default topology declared, the home page will be accessible just like
today. If someone sets {{default.app.topology.name}} in {{gateway-site.xml}},
the home page will be available under {{PROTOCOL://KNOX_HOST/GATEWAY_PATH/home}}
