[jira] Commented: (BEEHIVE-1027) NetUI Tree XmlHttpRequest support does not properly perform URL rewriting

Carlin Rogers commented on BEEHIVE-1027:
----------------------------------------

Here are some other thoughts about what might be done to fix the NetUI Tree XmlHttpRequest...

The initial registered URLRewriter should be implemented such that it recognizes and handles "*.xhr". Then, we need to use a rewritten URL in the JavaScript for the tree so that the netui_tree.js routines can build a rewritten URL on the client side for the expand/collapse commands to the XHR servlet.

Then on the server side, the servlet filter to register the desired/required URLRewriter (mentioned in the bug description) for the portal container would only register the specific rewriter for a scoped XHR request.

Also, the netui_tree.js needs to support a scoped map of the information used to write/construct the rewritten URLs so that it can support multiple portlets/trees in the page.

>
> The NetUI Tree XmlHttpRequest implementation does not support URL rewriting correctly. The tree XHR is broken in a scoped environment such as a portal when using a tree with runAtClient="true" because of this issue.
> The javascript for client side NetUI Tree support is not implemented to handle rewriting URLs. For the initial page of HTML containing a tree, the server will write the tree node(s) with the expandPath attribute set to the specific page flow controller with the tree. Then on the client side the javascript routine getTreeCommandUrl() uses that along with the webAppName (also written to the initial page) to construct the URL. This URL is not rewritten.
> In addition, the application in this scenario also needs to write a servlet filter to register the desired/required URLRewriters with the URLRewriterService before any XHR calls to the XmlHttpServlet. Otherwise, the URLs used for the HTML of the nodes rendered via the TreeCRI will also be incorrect.
