mediaOutput - display problem when using Tomcat -> IIS

[bolsover]

Hi All

I am using a4j:mediaOutput to display some images retrieved from a database.
The images display correctly when served from Tomcat directly.

The images do not display when served via IIS.

The IIS error log contains multiple entries like:

2010-04-09 15:25:54 ::1%0 60213 ::1%0 80 HTTP/1.1 GET /Yosemite/faces/a4j/s/3_3_3.CR1org.ajax4jsf.resource.UserResource/n/n/-1487394660/DATA/eAGNkk1rFEEQhitLgh9RCEYQDwHxK4loD5rEi0p0TYyRTVayxE9QamZqd3uYmW67e3ZHFr2JoCiCV0HBgxe96Mm!ENBDDv4CQUS8iODVntlB10XEvlVT!b711Nsvv8KQVnBAqAbDANPpQNeZIi0S5RFb1aRWimLvquJzaBCyMzrzpQSDFdjqKUJDp0VsKDYGtlUCbKETYtxwqm5AnjlWgQ2USm41b8BtGKjAxkj4vM7JL-qhFoYJ5UUq7Sz7M4mU1dEjzTwRSRFbbVYz1uisCH1SNWyRurz25sTjJ--WSlCqwCYvRK2XMaI!Z6gZxeOGnWGztm!8XKNwMnAyg1bca3at2uSilMxgI-QuWyLTFP58Ku3gmou4W5d57FvBUz5KI1SiYPRqTswyYlYQP3p!6emIngxLAKm0yyr9l1Uh3e9bWNm9TOQZSfSaxALUkhSjkJ3Tsv!J7HAHP-xQD7ZYfwU7u-u0rf19r521-x9!TD!M5rQkv!p-Qz-!c6!27cr68ZykvQLnHZm4IfccxpyL8-VDi8tnnEDLutOm0CZF113h32TZzcTM4YNTRyd3je!pLFBMdstzwksiG2SZMD7CJPLY3Bq3WLt7sP4y5GIkw7vPZt9ee!G9mgFl6Q2398HYP4VhsCW4359P8RterV!49Hmss9CTz!YMnnHBqomRibGNhJGBkfy6J1sp01RKAwNTPwFXFyFO?timestamp=Fri%20Apr%2009%2016%3A25%3A54%20BST%202010 400 - URL -

IIS is currently configured to use ARR (Application Request Rerouting) to connect to Tomcat.

I had previously been using the isapi redirector - but had the same problem.

Now the odd part - I have this problem on my development 32 bit Windows 7 (IIS 7.5) machine and on the deployment 64bit Server 2008 (IIS 7.0) machine - but another (test) 64bit SBS 2008 (IIS7.0) machine configured in the same way, displays the images correctly and a 32 bit Vista box with the isapi redirector also works correctly.

Has anyone else seen similar problems? Know of a solution?

Hi Nick

I'm not sure I understand...

I'm not convinced this is a firewall issue - the problem exists on my development W7 machine where Tomcat server the files without problem but when viewd through IIS, the images appear to be blocked - even when the firewall is disabled.

What I don't understsand is that everything seems to be working just fine on some boxes - but others refuse to serve the images.

Am I missing some fundamental issue here?

Hi all

I'm opening this up again because at present, I do not have a solution and I need to resolve in the very near future..

The issue is:

Using a4j:mediaOutput to display some images retrieved from a database.
The images display correctly when served from Tomcat directly.

The images do not display when served via IIS.

Nick has suggested checking this link: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-3586

I'm not convined this is the problem - if this were a problem of a corporate firewall, or filter surely the problem would be seen from both Tomcat and IIS not only when served via IIS?

Anyone - please - I'm running out of options
