I was having a problem getting the full url of a page or resource after
deploying my application behind a proxy. I was previously doing the
following:
public String getUrl(MyResource res) {
PageParameters params = new PageParameters();
params.put(Constants.MY_RESOURCE, res.getId());
WebRequestCycle cycle = (WebRequestCycle)RequestCycle.get();
return RequestUtils.toAbsolutePath(cycle.urlFor(MyResponsePage.class,
params).toString());
}
However, after deploying behind a proxy, I was expecting to get "
http://my.domain.com/MyResourcePage/resouce/xxx"; and instead was getting "
http://localhost:8080/MyResourcePage/resouce/xxx";. So I adjusted to doing
the following:
public String getUrl(MyResource res) {
PageParameters params = new PageParameters();
params.put(Constants.MY_RESOURCE, res.getId());
WebRequestCycle cycle = (WebRequestCycle)RequestCycle.get();
String urn = cycle.urlFor(MyResponsePage.class, params).toString();
String referer =
cycle.getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest().getHeader("Referer");
String context =
cycle.getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest().getContextPath();
PrependingStringBuffer url = new PrependingStringBuffer(urn);
url.prepend(referer.substring(0, referer.indexOf(context) +
context.length() + 1));
return url.toString();
}
It's working, but I was curious if anyone had any input or a better method
of accomplishing this. Thanks!
Regards,
Matthew.
