Key: MTOMCAT-54
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOMCAT-54
Project: Maven 2.x Tomcat Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0-beta-1
Environment: Any
Reporter: Hasan Ceylan
Priority: Blocker
Attachments: patch.patch
The project I am currently working must be the ROOT application in tomcat.
Therefore 'path' is set to '/'.
It also uses the server side redirects internally through tuckey's
URLRewriteFilter, but this bug should be valid for any stack that uses
serverside redirects that is based on Tomcat internal (re)dispatcher.
Bug occurs as a serverside redirect ie: '/myOriginalPath' is redispatched to
'/myDestinedPath' ends up as '//myDestinedPath' which has the illegal '/' in
the beginning which breaks our application and supposedly an illegal url as
well.
In case this configuration used Maven Tomcat Plugin passes '/' as the context
path which conflicts with createContext(String path, String docBase) which
specifically says "Context path of this application ("" for the default
application for this host, must start with a slash otherwise) @param docBase
Absolute pathname to the document base directory for this web application"
It is impossible to set the context path to "" in the pom as this then yields
to maven setting it to default which is "/${project.artifactId}"
If the context path is set to "/" then it is passed as it is which is illegal
according to the Tomcat Docs.
The attached patch resolves the issue by simple passing "" in case of "/" is
set as the path.
No documentation or pom interface change therefore change is transparent and
does not break.
