    JSF redirects to ajp://

    fissy101

      Dear All,

       

      I am testing out AS 7 and have run into a problem with JSF and redirects. I quite often use the post-redirect-get pattern to make bookmarkable search pages using code like:

       

      {code}return "index.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&includeViewParams=true";{code}

       

      In AS6 this worked fine, you would be redirected to the correct page and with the same scheme (http/https) as the request. In AS7 the response looks like this in firebug:

       

       

      {code}

      Location ajp://my.host.com/services/?limit=50&publiclylisted=SHOWN&status=ACTIVE

      {code}

       

      Obviously firefox doesn't know what to do with an ajp:// location and just shows a blank page. What can be wrong?

       

      My AJP configuration follows:

       

      {code:xml}

      <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.0" default-virtual-server="default-host">

                  <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" socket-binding="http" scheme="http"/>

                  <connector name="ajp" protocol="AJP/1.3" socket-binding="ajp" scheme="ajp" enabled="true"/>

                  <virtual-server name="default-host">

                      <alias name="localhost"/>

                      <alias name="example.com"/>

                  </virtual-server>

      </subsystem>

      {code}

       

      and

       

      {code:xml}

      <socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public">

              <socket-binding name="ajp" port="8009"/>

      ...

      {code}

          Hi,

           

          I hit the exactly the same problem. Any solution so far? A real show stopper.

           

          Thanks,

          Ulrich

            What exactly does the code look like? Please post the complete code in that method which does the redirect.

                Would it be possible for one of you to create a simple application to reproduce this and attach that app here? That would help me or others to take a quick look and see what's wrong.

                  Hi Jaikiran,

                   

                  There is a war file attached. I found a similar problem is happening in resteasy and that might be easier to debug as its giving a stacktrace. The resteasy resource class is:

                   

                   

                  {code}

                  package pkg;

                   

                  import javax.ws.rs.GET;

                  import javax.ws.rs.Path;

                  import javax.ws.rs.Produces;

                   

                  @Path("/resource")

                  public class Resource {

                   

                      @GET

                      @Produces("text/plain")

                      public String generateResponse() {

                          return "Hello world";

                      }

                     

                  }

                  {code}

                   

                  And requesting that resource gives the following error:

                   

                  {code}

                    Hi,

                     

                    it happens also on "normal" redirects like this:

                     

                    ExternalContext ext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();

                    ext.redirect(ext.getRequestContextPath() + "/faces/index.xhtml");

                     

                    Response header is then:

                     

                    Location: ajp://127.0.0.1/myapp/faces/index.xhtml

                     

                    Any fix or workaround would be highly appreciated.

                     

                    Thanks

                      Hello Jaikiran,

                       

                      any news about this problem? Can you reproduce it?

                      This is the only issue that prevents us to switch to AS 7, so any workaround or fix would be great.

                       

                      I can't find a JIRA entry about this. Should we create one?

                       

                      Thanks,

                      Ulrich

                        Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this even with that attached app. Can one of you list down the exact steps/configurations that I have to follow to reproduce this?

                          I tried the provided AjpConnectorTest.war. You have to remove WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml, otherwise you get an error on deployment.

                          When it deployed, go to the URL http://localhost:8080/AjpConnectorTest/rest/resource and you get Hello World.

                          Then try http://localhost:81/AjpConnectorTest/rest/resource (via Apache) and you get the error mentioned above.

                           

                          My Apache httpd.conf has:

                          Listen 81

                          ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/

                          ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/

                            Like I suspected, you have got the "scheme" wrong:

                             

                            <connector name="ajp" protocol="AJP/1.3" socket-binding="ajp" scheme="ajp"/>
                            

                             

                             

                            As per this http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/ajp.html the "scheme" is for:

                            Set this attribute to the name of the protocol you wish to have returned by calls to request.getScheme(). For example, you would set this attribute to "https" for an SSL Connector. The default value is "http".

                             

                            So change the connector configuration to:

                             

                            <connector name="ajp" protocol="AJP/1.3" socket-binding="ajp" scheme="http"/>

                                    Hi,

                                     

                                    now I'm stumbling over the next problem: I cannot reach the administration console, because in AS 7 it is on a different port (9990 by default) than 8080. In AS 6 it was on 8080, so no problem with a VirtualHost *.81 in Apache and ajp ProxyPass. But now the link on the welcome page is redirected to http://server_ip:9990/console, but remotely I cannot access it because jboss is bound to the localhost. I also cannot listen in Apache to 9990 because the port is used by jboss. Neither can I change the 9990 port to 8080 because jboss says address in use.

                                    Any idea of how to solve this?

                                     

                                    Thanks
