How to determine absolute URL of a mounted page?
Hi,
is there a way to determine the complete, absolute URL to a mounted page
(including protocol, host, port, application, filter and destination page)?
I need this to be able to send a link to a Registration-Confirmation page to
a user via email.
I searched the forum already, but didn't find a working solution. All I
found were messages saying that since Wicket 1.3 all URLs are relative.
Reading the JavaDoc I also found various urlFor() and getRelativePath...()
methods, all returning relative paths.
What I would need is a method with a signature similar to
url = getAbsolutePath(Request request, Class pageClass, PageParameters
parameters)
which returns an url like
"http://localhost:8080/myapp/app/<page-alias>?...<params>...
Thanks for any hints on this,
Oliver

Yes the port is also contained in the host header so it works fine -
as if the proxy was not there at all. I know that Jetty always
respects the host header.

I use Apache as a proxy and have got past this issue by using this
directive:
ProxyPreserveHost On
Stops the host name being rewritten so redirects etc still work
correctly.

If you virtual host in apache on a server (local ip 10.0.0.1)
so
www.mydomain.com/
is virtual hosted by a tomcat server on a local network (10.0.0.2)
10.0.0.2:8080/myapp1context
and you do a request to apach
it will rewrite the url and give it to tomcat
Then the request url is really
http://10.0.0.2:8080/myapp1context/XXXXXX
this pdf also explains it a bit:

sounds okay, but is it really necessary? can you explain why?
i always thought the browser would send the full request URL.
in fact, i've had tomcat behind apache and this just works.

Can we then make something where we ask some setting first for the
host part? If not found we generate from the current request, which i
think for many many production environments will not really work
because who doesnt virtualhost or puts apache in front of it?

Ah, yes, I've been meaning to get around to fixing that since forever,
sorry. :-(
See http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-609
That's pretty apalling in terms of timescales. Apologies to all
involved. Will have a look before RC2, promise. ;-)
In the meantime, you can go:
String url = "http://yourserver.com/" +
RequestCycle.get().urlFor([...]).replaceAll("\\.\\./", "");

That's why you have automated tests to make sure that someone doesn't
break your configuration right? =)

I have production versus development as well; this does not preclude me
from having different settings for each. There's a whole bunch of other
settings which are prod/dev dependent anyhow, like database connection,
admin email address (me on dev, the real application admin on prod),
hibernate settings, etc... What's one more property?
Personally I'd rather put it in a config file and know it's right rather
than have it break if someone decides to virtual host/firewall/proxy the
webapp and forgets to tweak the settings just right, (e.g., forgets the
ProxyPreserveHost directive).

Re: How to determine absolute URL of a mounted page?
Posted by Jonathan Locke <jo...@gmail.com>.
yeah, wicket should be able to find the base url of your application.
i've had to do this in a couple of projects by hand. /unfortunately/
i don't think there's any container-independent way of doing this
until a first request has come in for processing. before that point
in time, it seems like the absolute url to everything is actually
undefined. or maybe there's something i don't know yet... ?

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing and think that wicket should
provide such an API. all of the "issues" mentioned are well known
issues and other web frameworks still provide an API and just
acknowledge the limitations.
This is pretty important for me as I can't necessarily "hardcode" the
url when the application runs in several different environments
(production vs development for example). please vote for this JIRA
issue and hopefully we can get some kind of API added.

Hi Sebastiaan,
thanks for your answer. Excellent point on potential problems when using
clusters, firewalls and proxies (I run into those already).
I also thought on providing the URLs in a configuration file/spring config,
but "feared" there might be a simple and preferred "Wicket" way to determine
the URLs.
Thanks alot,
Oliver

What's wrong with putting this in a configuration file or just a
constant. Because in general this does not really work.
For example, your web server may be behind a proxy or firewall, it may
be clustered (and thus you have many machines instead of just one and
they can't all have the same hostname), they may be running on a port >
1024 because of security concerns, with the firewall redirecting traffic
on port 80 to the webserver.
Personally I use spring and generally put the hostname/port combination
in a properties file which spring uses to inject it into the application
class. I have different properties files for dev and production which
are activated by different maven profiles.
However if you really want to do this (which I don't advise) you can use
the HttpServletRequest to find your information using:
getWebRequestCycle().getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest()
