sean schofield commented on MYFACES-837: ---------------------------------------- These files are also in shared which seem confusing to me. > WelcomeFileFilter wants to go to the internet to load web.xml DTD > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-837 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-837 > Project: MyFaces Core > Type: Bug > Components: General > Versions: 1.1.2, 1.1.1 > Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen > Assignee: Dennis Byrne > > The WelcomeFileFilter loads the webapp web.xml to parse the web.xml file for > welcome files (see WelcomeFileFilter, line 180). However as most web.xml > files contain a DTD definition, it tries to download these from the web. If > the webapp can't reach the internet (firewall, no network connection), the > filter fails (in my case with an UnknownHostException). > IMHO, if the filter insists on parsing the web.xml, it should either be able > to resolve the most common DTDs (web-app_2_2.dtd, 2_3.dtd, 2_4.dtd probaby) > locally or not use a validating parser (setValidating(false) in line 181)) so > that it is possible to use the WelcomeFileFilter on hosts that cannot reach > the internet. > The bug is still present in the current impl trunk at > http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/myfaces/impl/trunk/src/java/org/apache/myfaces/webapp/filter/WelcomeFileFilter.java?rev=193014&view=markup -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
