This was indeed the case. I added the following to anything that was
mapped to .do. The frontpage comes up properly now.
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>

The request filter may not be dispatched for forwards. We had to do

Just a followup, it could be that the frontpage lists old entries

listing those users. If you hit it in the next hour or so,
http://rr.javalobby.org:20900 should be up for testing. It also
appears that hitting the site from 'links' on linux redirects
properly, while firefox does not. As I said, a hard redirect to
main.do is probably not a good thing and unless I changed Jroller
from the default, I don't think 1.2 did that :)
Hey guys. We're in the process of trying to migrate to Roller 2.0
and also ran into some of the indices problems. Easily resolved,
but there are other issues.
1) Just visiting / doesn't appear to redirect to main.do or
forward to main.jsp like it used to. We'd like to not have a hard
redirect to main.do as that would screw with our page ranks and
indexing with the various search engines.
2) If I do go to /, I get the following error:
The main pages need the RequestFilter and since your front page has
no *.do extension, you'll have to map /* to the RequestFilter.
That's sub-optimal because some pages don't need the overhead of the
request filter (e.g. the RSS feeds).
We want the main pages to go in the page cache, so we map planet.do
and main.do to the PageCacheFilter. Since you arrive at the front
page without main.do in your URL, you won't get any of the normal
caching.
I don't have a good solution for this problem and we've been running
with the redirect and the *.do URLs for over six months now, so I'm
against changing it for 2.0. Perhaps it could be addressed in the
cache rewrite coming in 2.1.
So, it definitely looks like the RequestFilter should be changed to
be the last filter in line. It should certainly be behind the caches
since we are trying not to hit the db when we are using cached
pages. I can try testing this in my dev environment tomorrow.
I had also noticed that when you hit the front page via "/" rather
than "/main.do" it doesn't seem to get cached. We currently use a
jsp forward to servlet dispatch the request from /index.jsp ->
/main.do and I would think that would go through the filters, but for
some reason it isn't :/ I'll have to play with this a bit to see if
there is a reason why, otherwise the only other alternative is the
alter the filter mappings.

3) Hitting main.do gives me a bunch of old entries, back to 2003.
4) The hot blogs list has all blogs listed with a /page as the
url, no handle. It appears that none of the blogs have a handle
after the upgrade. There also doesn't appear to be anything in
the upgrade script that generates them.
This is troubling. Has anybody else run into this problem of the
upgrade script not creating handles?
5) If I login as one of the users, it doesn't think I have any
weblogs, when I clearly did before.
And not creating weblog-user relationships?
That looks like an upgrade problem too, but it's going to be
difficult to diagnose if we can't reproduce. You do have a
customized Roller 1.2 installation. How close was your old database
to the stock Roller 1.2?
