Re: Strutsaction on different WebApps

[struts list]

I had the same problem.  For this reason, I do not use the struts 
<html:base> tag.  Instead I created my own (seen below in scriptlet form):

<base href="<%
   String rurl = request.getRequestURL().toString();
   String context = request.getContextPath();
   int pathstart = 8;
   if (context != null && context.length() > 1)
       {
       pathstart = rurl.indexOf("/", rurl.indexOf(context) + 1);
       }
   else
       {
       pathstart = rurl.indexOf("/", pathstart);
       }
   out.print(rurl.substring(0, pathstart + 1)); %>" >
This allows me to deploy my .war in various contexts within the same server.

Maybe I didn't explain my problem good enough...

The name of my application is WebApp. This name is similar for both the
production server and the test server. The servername (if you understand
what I mean by that term) on the testserver is www.mycomp.com/test, and the
servername on the productionserver is www.mycomp.com.
You suggested to deploy the test-application under a different name (i.e.
test-WebApp), but the problem is that I can't have the same servername for
the test- and production server. See? It's ok to have different
application-names, but the servername have to be different, because there
are in fact two different servers on two different machines.
It seems like Struts thinks the servername is www.mycomp.com even if I'm
working on the testserver with the servername www.mycomp.com/test. Why is
this a problem in Struts?
I hope this explanation was clear to you... I appreciate any response on
this problem :-)

Sorry that no one helped you, but let's take this back to the list.

How are you planning to do this?
What is the name of your application?  "test" or "WebApp"
Are you familiar with Request Path Elements?
You should read the servlet spec (section 4.4).  That will give you a good
understanding of why the approach you've described is giving the results
   

you
 

didn't expect.

My only suggestion to you is to deploy your WebApp under a different name
rather that trying to nest it under some directory.
I wouldn't recommend running your test server as your production box, but
   

if
 

you have no choice, try naming your test application as "test-WebApp" and
deploy it right beside "WebApp".
That would give you this:
www.mycomp.com/WebApp
www.mycomp.com/test-WebApp
...I think you'll start seeing the behavior you expect.

I've posted this on struts-user mail archive, but there haven't been any
response, so I hope you could help me! I hope you have some time to look
   

at
 

my problem. Thanks! :-)

I have two servers running webapps, one for production:
www.mycomp.com/WebApp and one for testing: www.mycomp.com/test/WebApp
When I work on the production server there are no problems, but when I
   

work
 

on the test-server and try to call a Struts-action (i.e.
www.mycomp.com/test/WebApp/user/saveUser.do), I'm getting redirected to
   

the
 

production-server. The 'test' part in the URL for the test-server is
   

ignored
 

and I'm getting redirected to www.mycomp.com/WebApp/user/saveUser.do.

The struts-config on the testserver looks like this:
<action path="/user/saveUser"
               type="com.mycomp.web.user.SaveUserAction"
               name="user"
               scope="request"
               input="/jsp/user/editUser.jsp">
</action>
The action call in the jsp file on the testserver looks like this:
... action = "/user/saveUser.do"
My questions are:
Doesn't Struts manage an extra "level" (test) between the serverroot
(www.mycomp.com) and the webapp name (WebApp)? Are there any
   

config-settings
 

I can do to solve this?

Kjellaug.
