It turns out to be a caused by myfaces. It has the following explicit check
for the "/WEB-INF" string at the start of the pathInfo...
public void service(ServletRequest request,
148 ServletResponse response)
149 throws IOException,
150 ServletException
151 {
152
153 HttpServletRequest httpRequest = ((HttpServletRequest) request);
154 String pathInfo = httpRequest.getPathInfo();
155
156 // if it is a prefix mapping ...
157 if (pathInfo != null
158 && (pathInfo.startsWith("/WEB-INF") || pathInfo
159 .startsWith("/META-INF")))
160 {
161 StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
162
163 buffer.append(" Someone is trying to access a secure
resource : ").append(pathInfo);
164 buffer.append("\n remote address is
").append(httpRequest.getRemoteAddr());
165 buffer.append("\n remote host is
").append(httpRequest.getRemoteHost());
166 buffer.append("\n remote user is
").append(httpRequest.getRemoteUser());
167 buffer.append("\n request URI is
").append(httpRequest.getRequestURI());
168
169 log.warn(buffer.toString());
170
171 // Why does RI return a 404 and not a 403, SC_FORBIDDEN ?
172
173 ((HttpServletResponse) response)
174 .sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
175 return;
176 }
...
I tried removing the "/" from my dispatcher path and it worked :) My
configuration now looks like this...
<bean id="dispatchProvider"
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.RequestDispatcherProvider">
<property name="logRedirects" value="true"/>
<property name="classResources">
<map>
<entry
key="com.virginaustralia.checkin_api.v3.model.ItineraryReadRS"
value="WEB-INF/view/faces/rest/reservation.xhtml" />
</map>
</property>
<property name="beanNames">
<map>
<entry
key="com.virginaustralia.checkin_api.v3.model.ItineraryReadRS"
value="reservation"/>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
Using "WEB-INF" instead of "/WEB-INF" at the start makes it pass the myfaces
check and fortunately the relative path seems to work.
