Great work Vikram.

We use seam to help insulate us from container specifics.

Please do update the wiki with your findings.

As a worst case, perhaps a client side redirect to index could help (so URL has a file in it). But it does sound like a websphere bug.

Well it is not that serious a problem as I initially thought. As I mentioned the URL(adding the index.jsp) works, so there is an easy work-around available.

The main bug seems to be that if a URL is sent to WebSphere which does not have a physical file in it the filter which should kick in and re-direct does not do so. (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg1PK27620 )

This has nothing to do with the BRMS of course and is a problem for all Web-Apps in this version of Websphere(We are using 6.1.0.0). Adding the index.jsp to the URL seems to work fine for now. I am working on the BRMS to see if there are any other side-effects of this.

Maybe, we should update a Wiki or troubleshooting doc on this so that it is known to the community.

Digging around IBM Support after my post, I have found quite a few bugs mentioned in version 6.1 regarding how Servlet Filters work and of some on JSF(Especially JBOSS Seam) problems with the particular version. (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK47367)

IBM has however provided patches for all of them and I am going to give another shot at seeing the behavior after upgrading to a higher release.

Hi Vikrant.

well the drools-guvnor/ doesn't use a filter so much as it is default
web.xml behaviour - you can specify a "welcome" page, which it goes to
when the root path is supplied. If Websphere 6.1 can't even do that -
I would say something is seriously wrong (may be a bad install?) - you
could try it with a really simple war that just has 1 jsp and a
web.xml and see if it happens with it? although I think:

As for servlet filters - as we use Seam, it uses servlet filters to
manage lifecycles, so yes, that could be it (if its not the above). It
isn't possible to replace the filters, as they do a very different job
from servlets (although the difference is subtle).

What would be better would be to work out what the problem is with
websphere and filters I think.

Well it clearly is a problem with filters as the following works in
WebSphere:



http://localhost:9080/drools-guvnor/index.jsp



However just typing



http://localhost:9080/drools-guvnor does not and gives you the Ugly 500.

Subject: Deploying the BRMS on Web-Sphere 6.1



Hi All,



Has anyone been able to deploy the BRMS War file on Websphere 6.1. The BRMS deploys without problems , but I get the following error when I try to
access the BRMS:



Error 500: com.ibm.ws.wswebcontainer.extension.DefaultExtensionProcessor
incompatible with com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.servlet.IServletWrapper.



However, the WebDAV servlet still works.

I dug around a little, and have found that this problem has occurred for
other web-applications as well who have provided a workaround:



http://wiki.merbivore.com/pages/deploying-a-merb-application-to-a-jee-container-us
(Read Step 7)



The problem seems to be related to Servlet-Filters. These do not seem to work correctly with Websphere 6.1. In the site mentioned they have replaced the servlet-filter with a normal server. (The BRMS seems to use a servlet
filter for /* url mapping).



I have seen posts on other forums regarding the BRMS deployment on Websphere
6.1 but no answers as to how to make this work.



Any, help would be appreciated.



Cheers,

Vikrant
