Struts2 session problem (after migrating behind reverse proxy)

[Tim Dellas <de...@ascora.de>]

Hi there!

 

I store session parameters in a Struts2 session map that I get in my actions
using the SessionAware interface. My Application is in the /MyApp path.

 

After setting up the struts2 application on an Apache server with an inverse
proxy redirect that makes the URL http://www.appdomain.com/ point to my
local tomcat on localhost:8080/MyApp, Struts2 session handling doesn't work
anymore. I expect that the session cookies are stored for the Struts2
context of http://localhost:8080/MyApp instead of http://www.appdomain.com/
.

 

Is there a solution in Struts2 configuration? Or in programmatically
changing the session cookie somehow? Couldn't find any info about this on
the interwebs or in the official documentation. Please help, I'm already in
production and my logins don't work ;-)

 

Best regards, Tim

(hope I don't do wrong by posting here, not using mailing lists often but
will try to help others too)

Hi Nuwan!

To be frank: I don't know - I don't have access to the production server and
just push up my .WARs. But just to let everyone know:

I just solved the problem with a dirty hack: I passed the Session Id to the
JSP and use a javascript to set the needed JSESSIONID cookie clientside.

<s:if test='sessionid && !sessionid.equals("")'>
<script type="text/javascript">
function createCookie(name,value,days) {
		if (days) {
			var date = new Date();
			date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
			var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
		}
		else var expires = "";
		document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
	}

$(document).ready(function() {
		createCookie("JSESSIONID","<s:property value='sessionid'
/>",3);
		});
</script>
</s:if>

Got the JS code from this page: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html

Thank you, problem solved!

Best Regards, 
Tim

ProxyPassReverse declaration?
