Url rewriting configuration

["Alexandre-Michael Neubert" <alexandre-michael.neubert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List,

I am trying to access JSR 168 Portlets remotely using the wsrp features provided by exo. For this, I use two exo portlet container 1.5 bundled with tomcat on two remote machines. The first tomcat acts as server and deploys my portlets; The other one is acting as client as deploys nothing but the portlet container.

Fyi, these exo PC bindles where downloaded from the forge site and no custom configuration has been done on them.

 

I start my two tomcat instances and the tcp monitor to see what soap messages are exchanged between them.

Here is what I get: On the server, I have a portlet deployed with one form which leads to a jsp containing one image.

 

The line to display the image is :

<img src=''>

 

 If I access this portlet locally (on the server instance), everything works fine and my image is displayed.

But, if I configure the WSRPProducer Portlet of my client’s tomcat (with the url of the server instance) and if I try to display my portlet using the client’s WSRPConsumer Portlet, no image is displayed. This subject was already the subject of another mail send a few weeks ago (I will go farther in the explanations).

 

I looked at the client’s page generated code to see where exo tries to search the image to display. I found this in the generated file:

<img src='/TestImgPortlet/FR/speedo.gif'>

 

So far, the url should have been reencoded since the jsp used the encodeURL method.

 

Now, I look at the tcp monitor to see what soap fragments are exchanged between client and server. Here is what I get:

 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

   <soapenv:Body>

      <getMarkupResponse xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:wsrp:v1:types">

            <locale>en</locale>

            <requiresUrlRewriting>false</requiresUrlRewriting>

            <cacheControl>

               <expires>-1</expires>

               <userScope>wsrp:perUser</userScope>

               <validateTag>73241442c0a8788200d2883b42630713</validateTag>

            </cacheControl>

         </markupContext>

         <sessionContext>

            <sessionID>7322e8b4c0a878820071d29a0aeb8c91</sessionID>

            <expires>900</expires>

         </sessionContext>

      </getMarkupResponse>

   </soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

 

This stack is the soap fragment that is passed when I try to access the jsp that s displaying the image.

Here, I notice few things:

1. img src='' is the path that he tries to resolve to the image(in the markup string). As previously sayed, this url is not encoded (although it should be).

2. <requiresUrlRewriting>false</requiresUrlRewriting> is false. I suppose this is the parameter that allows to encode the url of my portlet

3. <expires>900</expires> My session will expire in 900 seconds.

 

Now, here are my questions:

• Is the parameter <requiresUrlRewriting> related to the fact that the path to my image is not reencoded ? If yes, how and where can I set this parameter? If not, is there another way to make exo reencode the urls?
• I noticed that after a few minutes of inactivity, I cannot use the consumer any more. An error is thrown. Does that come from <expires> parameter? If yes, how and where can I set this so that my session never expires? If not, where does that error come from and how am I able to prevent session expiring?

 

In case someone wants to reproduce my problem, I join my portlet war to this mail (it is really a very simple app).

 

Has somebody already had the same problems? Can someone help me out?

 

Thanks for all your answers?

 

Regards,

 

Alexandre
