Just for the record/mail archives - I looked into this in a bit more depth, and
it looked to me from examining the code in DSpaceIdentify.java that the OAI
baseURL is indeed determined by picking apart the request URL rather than
pulling it from config:
public String getBaseUrl()
{
if (_baseUrl == null)
{
_baseUrl = _request.getRequestURL().toString()
.replace(_request.getPathInfo(), "");
}
return _baseUrl + _request.getPathInfo();
}
- so if the hostname of the request URL that was being picked apart was
"localhost:8080", this did point to an issue with the request that Apache was
passing on to Tomcat . . .
Once I'd convinced myself of that fact and conveyed all that to my sys admin
colleague, he hacked about with the Apache and connector configurations (we're
using mod_proxy I believe) and we finally got it working, so the OAI base URL
that appears in the Identify response for our repository is now correct :-).
