Seam SSL form Redirect

[glblack]

We currently have Seam deployed behind a load balancer that terminates the SSL session.

When submitting a form, the redirect URL generated is "http://" instead of "https://".

Adding the schema to the pages.xml as follows

<page view-id="*" scheme="https">

causes the browser to be continually redirected to https URL.

It appears that because SSL it terminated at the load balancer, seam does not detect that the request was https.

Is there a way to configure seam to force https in the redirect once after post to prevent the redirect loop?

I found the following post in jira about the same issue, but this did not work in SEAM 2.0.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1024

I added the following to the components.xml

<core:pages https-port="8000"/>

Has this change been added to to the 2.0 version?

It's moved packages to:

<navigation:pages https-port="8000"/>

The application failed to deploy after using <navigation:pages>.

I did find a solution by modifying the server.xml for the jboss.web connector. Adding scheme="https" to the Connector set the correct scheme for the HttpServletRequest to return the correct scheme.

Unfortunately, this creates the reverse problem of not being able to connect to the server directly.

This problem of being behind an SSL load balancer seems to be more of a servlet container issue.

You probably forgot the namespace.
