Re: [Wicket-user] Is it possible to give wicket URLs an extension?

[Andrew Berman]

Johan and Nathan, that's exactly how I'm doing it.  However, the problem is that I have a single web app which has two different servlets mapped to different URLs.  I have the Spring MVC servlet mapped to /*.htm (which is older but will be migrated to Wicket at some point :-)) and I have the Wicket servlet mapped to /foo/*.  Both apps use common services, including the same db, so I didn't want to split them out into separate web apps and use remote EJBs or JMS or something of the sort.

So, the URLs I want are like this:

http://foo.whatever.com --> Spring MVC app
http://bar.something.com --> Wicket app

Things seem to work fine for the Spring app, but the Wicket app doesn't work right because Wicket is mapped to a directory and not an extension.  So, when I go to http://bar.something.com I get my homepage fine.  However, I click a link and the link automatically appends the /foo to the url so you get http://bar.something.com/foo?wicket....., which still works, though it's not correct.  However, when you submit a form it goes back to the home page because the session is new because Tomcat thinks its a new session due to the way the webapp is being accessed.  No matter what I do it seems that Tomcat just keeps creating a new session so Wicket takes the user back to the homepage.

Thanks for your help,

Andrew

this should work:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot "youredocrootdir"
ServerName www.yourevirtualhost.com

...

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass / http://localhost:9090/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9090/

that is something apache/mod_rewrite should do.
Don't know why this doesn't work we only set the complete path.
But a redirect has to be the full url. So tomcat really sends the complete url to the browser. But apache should rewrite that to use the virtual host address.

I'm using Virtual Hosts along with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite and one thing I've noticed is that when I use a DropDownChoice along with the onSelectionChange method which simply does a setResponsePage(...), it redirects the user to the http://localhost:8080/ address instead of the http://bar.com address from which they originally came to the page.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?

what you want is virtual hosting. Wicket does touch the "http://xxxx.xxx" It only generates the "/contextpath/servletpath/XXXXX"
And you can set the contextpath to "" so and map with apache to a different server so that http://localhost:8080/context/ is mapped to http://bar.com

But that wouldn't work for all Wicket urls.  The problem I have is that I have one war file with multiple applications.  Right now, I'm having problems mapping urls to each of those webapps.  One app uses .htm (Spring MVC) and the other is a Wicket app which is mapped based on url folder.  So, I want to be able to map http://foo.com to the Spring one via the .htm extension and http://bar.com to the Wicket app via some other extension instead of a folder.  Currently, I'm playing around with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite in Apache and forwarding the requests to Tomcat.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

did you try doing mountBookmarkablePage("/HomePage.htm", HomePage.class) ?

I was wondering if there is a way in 1.2 to map Wicket's urls to an extension instead of to a directory.  For example, is it possible to do http://localhost/HomePage.htm instead of the usual http://localhost/wicket/HomePage?

Thanks,

Andrew
