I am running several application servers on different ports, using Apache's mod_proxy to put them all in the same URL space, like:
http://toms.net/bea/ => http://toms.net:7001/ http://toms.net/sssw/ => http://toms.net:1085/ http://toms.net/ri/ => http://toms.net:1086/ etcetera, using proxy_pass and proxy_pass_reverse. The problem is, there seems to be no way to make struts form actions either relative or fully absolute- that is, assuming a war & jsp like: http://toms.net:7001/strutsWar/test.jsp which is called from the browser by: http://toms.net/bea/strutsWar/test.jsp an action will be generated like this: /strutsWar/test.jsp which is not going to work. Several alternatives would work - action="test.jsp" would be OK because the browser would make it the same /bea/strutsWar path, which would still proxy. action="../strutsWar/test.jsp" would be OK because the browser would again make a correct relative link. action="http://toms.net:7001/strutsWar/test.jsp"; would be more correct, but would not really work, since one of the purposes for mapping everything under proxy_pass is to make everything available on port 80 because of firewalls. It seems incongruous, given the the <html:base/> tag exists, specifically to MAKE relative links work, not to have a way to make a form action point to a relative link! The absolute linke, action="/strutsWar/test.jsp", is never going to work, because the browser doesn't send the /bea part that the proxy keys off, and it also doesn't send the request on port 7001, where the appserver is. Shouldn't there be a way to make a form action generate a relative link? Or am I just missing it and/or ignorantly not reading the right part of the documentation? -Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
