Hi,

I've found the code segment in question:

[share]org.apache.catalina.connector.HttpResponseBase line 642 and
following:

        // Add the session ID cookie if necessary
        HttpServletRequest hreq = (HttpServletRequest) request.getRequest();
        HttpSession session = hreq.getSession(false);

        if ((session != null) && session.isNew() && (getContext() != null)
            && getContext().getCookies()) {
            Cookie cookie = new Cookie(Globals.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME,
                                       session.getId());
            cookie.setMaxAge(-1);
            String contextPath = null;
            if (context != null)
                contextPath = context.getPath();
            if ((contextPath != null) && (contextPath.length() > 0))
                cookie.setPath(contextPath);
            else
                cookie.setPath("/");
            if (hreq.isSecure())
                cookie.setSecure(true);
            addCookie(cookie);
        }

I'll try to patch it... :) How to do it canonically?
BTW.: I downloaded the source and tried to build it with ant (ant deploy in
the catalina dir) but build failed with some silly error message complaining
about a file. Tracking down the problem it turned out that some environment
variables are unset (required libraries, etc.).

Is there a short intro describing how to set up the development environment?

TIA!


János

|Hi, Jean-Frederic,
|
|one more addition:
|
|This works fine:
|
|       RewriteRule ^/istore/something(.*) http://mydomain/istore$1 [P]
|
|Cookies work to (because the "/istore" will be present in both the
|original and the proxied url). You can then use:
|http://mydomain/istore/something/aServlet (which eventually will
|end at http://mydomain/istore/aServlet
|
|
|I want this to work:
|
|    RewriteRule !^/istore(.*) - [C]
|    RewriteRule (.*) http://mydomain/istore$1 [P]
|
|So any URL not containing the "/istore" prefix should be rewritten
|by prepending "/istore". Then you can use URLs like:
|http://mydomain/anything. This is what you normally do with
|Apache-served sites. I don't want to see no application context in
|my urls basically.
|
|Hope you get what I try to express!
|
|Cheers,
|János (=Jean in Hungarian :)
