Hello Björn,
That sounds good. But how do I realise it?
i solved this problem with tomcat simply by setting a couple of
attributes on the http connector in server.xml. dunno if you're using
tomcat within jboss, or even if jboss uses tomcat anymore (it's been a
few years since i worked with bjoss), but this might lead you in the
right direction or help somebody else with a problem more similar to mine.
in detail, here's what i did to get my tomcat 5.5 webapp working behind
a reverse proxy (snipped from
<https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3862#c6>):
in server.xml, you can set the "proxyName" and "proxyPort" attributes on
a Connector. this will cause tomcat to use these values rather than the
server name and port that tomcat understands.
if your reverse proxy is negotiating ssl and passing plaintext http
requests back to tomcat, then you'll need to add the "secure" and
"scheme" attributes to the connector as well, so that tomcat knows to
generate urls with the https scheme rather than http, and so that other
container and webapp code knows that the request is considered to be secure.
if you need to assign a specific namespace to cosmo in the reverse
proxy, then you'll need to change the default context path for the cosmo
webapp - this is the "path" attribute of the Context element. it's "" by
default, signifying the root namespace.
putting it all together:
<Connector port="8080" enableLookups="false"
proxyName="cosmo-demo.osafoundation.org"
proxyPort="80"
secure="true" scheme="https"/>
and
<Context path="/internal" docBase="cosmo" reloadable="false">
will cause tomcat to generate
https://cosmo-demo.osafoundation.org/internal/account
instead of
http://hostname:8442/account
see the following url for details on tomcat 5.5's proxy support:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html#Proxy%20Support>
fwiw, i also considered using a response wrapper, but i prefer to solve
these sorts of problem in configuration when possible :)
