domains and aplication name mapping
Hi,
Basically, struts 2 considers url as the following:
http://domain/appContextName/packageNameSpace/actionOrMethodName.
Now consider the following scheme:
Internet -> /public name spacing/ -> Apache -> /private name spacing/ ->
Jboss.
In your public namespacing , you may want your "domain/appContexName" part
of the url be only some www.pepe.com <http://www.pepe.com/> , while in your
private one /pepe:8080/pepeWeb.
Thus (for SEO reasons .) you might need a different "domain/appContextName"
in your public and private namespacing which implies defining a mapping on
them that allows the UrlHelper to construct public nameSpacing while the
Controler still working on the private Namespacing.
As what we know, Struts 2 does allow a lot of url assembling tecnics, but
does not address with the "adomain/appContextName" part of the url.
But we may consider implementing a simple patch on that point:
- the entry point would be the UrlHelper, change the line getting
the ContextName for a mapping module that transform private name spacing to
private name spacing, so that all tags (form, urlassembler.) will construct
the right public url.
- In the proper struts.xml (or in another xml), configuring the
mapping (something like <appContext private="pepeWeb" public=www.pepe.com
<http://www.pepe.com/> />).
We would be gratefull to tell us if there already exists a legal solution to
our problem or if we do have to implement the patch.
Best regards,
Nicolas

If I understand correctly, I believe this is a proxy configuration
issue. Here you can find some reference to how I solved it when I
faced the same problem:

Asunto: Re: domains and aplication name mapping
I'm not sure you're aware, but IIRC, if your application is named
'ROOT' (i.e. ROOT.war), then the application server will serve it up
without appending the appcontext name onto the URL. After that, I
agree with Nils, it is a reverse proxy issue. You would probably get
more feedback on the user@struts.apache.org mailing list, since many
users have probably dealt with this very issue.
