Request dispatcher fails on encoded url when used in post (Bug?)
Hello:
I am getting a failure in my code when using a request dispatcher
to forward the request to an encoded url from a post operation.
To see it in action, do the following:
1. Turn off cookies on your browser
2. Visit http://dev.jammconsulting.com/gen?_template=/index.jsp
3. Hit the Test button.
You will get this error:
HTTP Status 404 - /gen;jsessionid=BF99242CF6F9E32C44D50EACE5576AD5
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
type Status report
message /gen;jsessionid=BF99242CF6F9E32C44D50EACE5576AD5
description The requested resource
(/gen;jsessionid=BF99242CF6F9E32C44D50EACE5576AD5) is not available.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Apache Tomcat/4.1.27
Now, turn on cookies and try it again. You will get a page that states:
This is compose.jsp
Session id is BFBC13C89DD4B3F5A98EF8E53F0D6A45
I thought that Tomcat is supposed to act the same with cookies on or off
when I use encodeURL on all of my urls.
Here is the code behind this sample:
In httpd.conf, ask apache to map all urls that begin with /gen into
tomcat:
<LocationMatch /gen>
JkUriSet worker ajp13:localhost:8009
</LocationMatch>
In tomcat server.xml, I told tomcat that the root context uses
my app:
<Context path="" docBase="email" debug="0"/>
In my app's web.xml, told it to map all request for /gen to
my test servlet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>sls</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
servlet.TestServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>sls</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/gen/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>50</session-timeout>
</session-config>
</web-app>
Here is my test servlet, which forwards all requests to the appropriate
template:
package servlet;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
private void process(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(request.getParameter("_template
")).forward(request, response);
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
process(request,response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
process(request,response);
}
}
Here is the index.jsp template, which posts to the massCompose template:
<P>
Session id is <%= session.getId() %>
<P>
<form name=groupList method="post" action="<%=
response.encodeUrl("/gen") %>">
<input type=hidden name="_template" value="/massCompose.jsp">
<input type="submit" value="test">
</form>
Here is the massCompose template which forwards to the compose template:
<%
RequestDispatcher rdispatch =
request.getRequestDispatcher(response.encodeURL("/gen?_template=/compose
.jsp&type=normal"));
rdispatch.forward(request, response);
%>
Here is the compose template which just displays a message:
<HTML>
<BODY>
This is compose.jsp
<P>
Session id is <%= session.getId() %>
<P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Any ideas why this is occurring?
Thanks,
Neil

RE: Request dispatcher fails on encoded url when used in post (Bug?)
Posted by Neil Aggarwal <ne...@JAMMConsulting.com>.
Filip:
There is no space in the url, it is an underscore.
As far as the last slash, why would it work correctly with cookies
on and not with cookies off?
It should work the same with and without cookies. If it did not work
in both cases, that would make sense to me.
Thanks,
Neil
