Re: auto reload of message resource and URL-rewrite

2001-02-26 Thread Maya Muchnik

Hi,
I am sorry for my "stupidity". Need to read more careful email, and what
people ask. I have tried myself the following link:
"http://localhost:8080/struts-example/admin/reload.do" and it works. I can
see messages about updating of ActionFormBean, ActionForward,... properties
on a command line (where I have started Tomcat)  and in browser window the
message - "OK".

I got the URL loaded finally. I need to create the directory 'admin'
myself before calling .../admin/reload.do . Oops! Thanks Maya.

I didn't answer the other half of this question in my previous response, so
here is some background on why the URL rewriting takes place (even though
you have cookies enabled).

When a session is first created, the servlet container does not yet know
whether the client browser supports cookies.  Therefore, the only safe thing
to do on that initial response is to send the session id *both* ways (URL
rewriting and a cookie), and see what comes back in on the next request.  If
the cookie does not come back, the container says "aha, this client does not
support cookies, so I will continue to use rewriting".


 The image is loaded successfully when I pressed "reload" on my browser.
 The string ";jsessionid*" is gone.


That is because, on the subsequent request, your browser sent the session id
cookie along.  Therefore, the servlet container knows that you support
cookies, and it stops adding the session ID with URL rewriting.

 Hi,

 Extracted from struts-example's walking tours:

 "You can even reload the configuration and message resources without

At the bottom of the struts-config.xml file for the example application, you
will see an action definition:

action path="/admin/reload"

You can use any of these standard actions in your own applications as well.

 The image is loaded successfully when I pressed "reload" on my browser.
 The string ";jsessionid*" is gone.

What servlet container are you using?  Some containers (such as Tomcat 3.2
running behind Apache) do not correctly deal with URL-rewritten session ids
unless you modify their configuration slightly -- in this case, you have to
define a "rewrite rule" in the Apache configuration file to make it work.

The details are in the Tomcat FAQ-O-MATIC, which you can reach via
http://jakarta.apache.org.  Search for an entry containing the words "URL
rewriting" and you will find the setup details.
