I don't know why installPatches() didn't bring the change. Although I'm using
Wonder's latest stable release so the change mentioned in the WONDER-389 should
be reflected.
However, I did my work around and thought to share with you as I found it to be
flexible and dynamic and perhaps wonder team could implement something like
this. I've overridden the method dispatchRequest() in my application as follows:
@Override
public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest request) {
WOResponse response = super.dispatchRequest(request);
String _replace = request.stringFormValueForKey("_alias");
if(response.contentString() == null || _replace == null ||
_replace.trim().length() == 0) {
return response;
}
String _pattern =
request._uriDecomposed().prefix().concat("/").concat(request._uriDecomposed().applicationName().concat(".woa"));
response.setContent(response.contentString().replaceAll(_pattern,
_replace));
return response;
}
And defined following rewrite rules:
RewriteRule ^/app/(.*)$
/Application/WebObjects/MyApplication.woa/$1?_alias=/app [L,PT,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/xyz/(.*)$
/Application/WebObjects/MyApplication.woa/$1?_alias=/xyz [L,PT,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/abc/(.*)$
/Application/WebObjects/MyApplication.woa/$1?_alias=/abc [L,PT,QSA]
Now my application be accessed with three different aliases /app, /xyz and /abc
and the response contains the corresponding rewritten url. No need to set the
properties in the Properties for pattern and replace as that can be directly
controlled with apache config file.
However, I would like to know I've implemented this change at right place or
there is any other method which more appropriate such as _rewriteURL but that
is still not working for me.
