http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11865 forward from root context always fails Summary: forward from root context always fails Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.4 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Attempting to forward from the root context to another context always fails Here are the steps to replicate this problem: 1. Modify server.xml by adding the following: <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0" crossContext="true"/> <Context path="/context1" docBase="context1" debug="0" crossContext="true"/> <Context path="/context2" docBase="context2" debug="0" crossContext="true"/> 2. Create the following jsp files: /index.jsp and /context1/context1.jsp: <% getServletContext().getContext("/context2").getRequestDispatcher ("/context2.jsp").forward(request, response); %> /context2/context2.jsp: This is context2.jsp 3. Try to access http://localhost:8080/context1/context1.jsp and notice that this successfully forwards to /context2/context2.jsp 4. Try to access http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost:8080/index.jsp and notice that this fails even though /index.jsp contains the same code as /context1/context1.jsp I believe (although I have not tested this) that the error lies in the file /catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/core/ApplicationContext.java lines 440-448: 440 441 // Return the current context if requested 442 String contextPath = context.getPath(); 443 remm 1.37 if (!contextPath.endsWith("/")) 444 contextPath = contextPath + "/"; 445 if ((contextPath.length() > 0) && (uri.startsWith (contextPath))) { 446 pier 1.29 return (this); 447 } 448 It seems like the above code will always return the current context of / when forwarding from / since all uri's start with / I believe this may have been working in version 1.36 of the file ApplicationContext.java but stopped working in version 1.37 (the test used to be uri.equals instead of uri.startsWith). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
