It should have picked it up, going through the gateway.sh file, I
don't see any place where ext folder is added to class path, can
you open a BUG for this ?
as a workaround for this you can copy your jar into the lib
folder and Knox should pick it up on the startup.
Hopefully, this should help !
Best,

Hi Sandeep,
thank you for your answer!
Ok so I tried to change my project and adding a simple class
like this:
package com.test.ext;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.knox.gateway.config.Configure;
import org.apache.knox.gateway.config.Default;
import org.apache.knox.gateway.dispatch.AbstractGatewayDispatch;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class MyDispatch extends AbstractGatewayDispatch {
private static final Logger LOG =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyDispatch.class);
@Override
public void destroy() {
LOG.debug("******* destroy()");
}
@Configure
protected void customMethod(@Default("Test") String test) {
LOG.debug("******* @Configure customMethod(): {}", test);
}
@Override
public void doGet(URI url, HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, URISyntaxException {
LOG.debug("******* doGet() request: {}, {}",
request.getMethod(), new URI(request.getRequestURI()));
super.doGet(url, request, response);
}
}
made the ".jar" and put in the "ext" folder.
Executed the REST request again:
curl -i -k -u admin:admin-password -X GET
'https://localhost:8443/gateway/sandbox/webhdfs/v1/?op=LISTSTATUS'
and I expected to see some logs, e.g. from the "doGet()"
method (I'm not sure about the "@Configure" method, when
should a method with that annotation be executed?), but it
seems it does not see the class.
So I tried to configure my topology to use the dispatch (as
written on [1]):
<service>
<role>WEBHDFS</role>
<url>http://hadoop-namenode:50070/webhdfs</url>
<dispatch>
<classname>com.test.ext.MyDispatch</classname>
<use-two-way-ssl>false</use-two-way-ssl>
</dispatch>
</service>
and after saving logs say:
ERROR knox.gateway (GatewayFilter.java:doFilter(170)) -
Gateway processing failed: javax.servlet.ServletException:
org.apache.shiro.subject.ExecutionException:
java.security.PrivilegedActionException:
javax.servlet.ServletException:
javax.servlet.ServletException:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.test.ext.MyDispatch
javax.servlet.ServletException:
org.apache.shiro.subject.ExecutionException:
java.security.PrivilegedActionException:
javax.servlet.ServletException:
javax.servlet.ServletException:
*java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.test.ext.MyDispatch*
so it's not seeing my class.
What am I missing?
Thank you!
Matteo

Hello Matteo,
I don't think this is a right way to add filters to Knox, if
you want to add some custom logic between your Knox and the
backend you can write custom dispatch [1]
you can add this new jar in the ext folder and it should be
picked up by Knox on start-up.

Hi,
I'm trying to add a filter on a Knox instance so that
I'll be able to add a custom logic to (every / specific)
REST requests to Knox.
I thought to use the "Class Path" feature [1], so I
created a Maven Java project, generated a ".jar" file
and placed it in the "$GATEWAY_HOME/ext" folder
Then, I thought it was necessary to link my custom class
[2] on the "gateway.xml" files of the resources I
wanted, e.g.
./data/deployments/sandbox.topo.16977ef2478/%2F/WEB-INF/gateway.xml
added:
<filter>
<role>rewrite</role>
<name>url-rewrite</name>
<class>com.test.knox.MyUrlRewriteServletFilter</class>
</filter>
then I made a REST request to Knox:
curl -i -k -u admin:admin-password -X GET
'https://localhost:8443/gateway/sandbox/webhdfs/v1/?op=LISTSTATUS'
but my filter is not called at all (I cannot see the
log) and I'm not sure whether it's because the class is
not loaded or the filter is placed in the wrong place or
whatever.
On [4] you can see the project I have built.
So my questions are:
* what am I doing wrong or missing?
* is there a better way to do that? I just need to add
a logic when executing REST requests to Knox and
make another REST call to an external service I need.
Thank you!
Regards,
Matteo
