Remove Control Servlet in customized application
Hi list
we were looking around possibilities to remove the Control Servlet from a
customized application, in a way that the frontend will not contain in the
URL /control/.
Is there a way to do that directly in the application web.xml descriptor?
That's just a strange request of one of our customers...for us it is
definitely ok to leave it ;) But you all know that customer request must be
satisfied (as much as we can)...
We tried urlrewrite, without totally success. Using a rule like the
following one, we were able to filter the content generated from
response.encodeURL:
<outbound-rule>
<note>
When response.encodeURL is called (RequestHandler.encodeURL)
the url /control/something will be rewritten to /something.
The above rule and this outbound-rule means that end users
should never see the
url /control/something /something both in thier location bar and
in hyperlinks
in your pages.
</note>
<from>^/control/(.*)$</from>
<to>/$1</to>
</outbound-rule>
Anyway we need also another rule to filter input...something like this (not
working):
<rule>
<note>
Requests without /control/ will be silently rewritten.
</note>
<from>^/(.+)$</from>
<to>/control/$1</to>
</rule>
I've read that months ago Jaques was speaking on urlrewrite...
Is there someone that had our same necessity before?
Thanks list, thanks Ofbiz developers

Please use rather user ML for such questions, see why here :

Thanks

PS: Did you consider to use Apache HTTPD mod_rewrite module rather ?
