Hi Geert,

I think we have a misunderstanding. ;-)

Looking at your sample below I see that you have the same behaviour, which
is in my opinion not correct.
When you submit the form it is submitted to: "
http://localhost:8080/mycontext/mycontext/admin"; which miraculously works!
What I mean to say is that it should't work, as I would expect the action
url to be "/admin" in stead of "mycontext/admin".

Let me just go back a few steps, here is what I want:

My public URL: "http://www.mydomain.com/";
My application is running on URL: "http://www.mydomain.com:8080/mycontext";
I use Apache to proxy all requests from www.mydomain.com to
localhost:8080/mycontext

To conclude, I want the baseurl to be "http://www.mydomain.com/"; which I can
control with the "PROXY_ROOTURL" and I want the
form action to be submitted to "/admin", NOT "/mycontext/admin" and NOT
"mycontext/admin".
Notice that I use an absolute path, I have to come back to what I said
before when I requested it to be relative.
I have noticed in production that some browsers don't handle relative paths
correctly (ie. instead of using the base href, they use the current url as
base!).

So what I would like the WEBAPP_CONTEXT_PATH parameter to do is:

Strip webapp context path from generated URLs, nothing more!

I hope I have been clear enough, if not, please tell me.

Regards,

Edwin

Hi Edwin,

I'm a bit baffled, since it just works here.

This is the difference with the jumpstart (besides the updated RIFE
jar):

When I visit http://localhost:8080/context/admin, I see:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>
     <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-

     <title>RIFE/Jumpstart - Admin - Authentication</title>
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/common.css" />
</head>

<body>
     <form name="credentials" action="mycontext/admin" method="post">
     ...

Surely this seems to work.

Anything you're doing differently?

Best regards,

Geert
