mod_proxy with seam and tomcat5.5

[renton1982]

Hi Guys!

I figured out a problem with seam on tomcat with mod_proxy and Apache in front of it.

In my virtual host on Apache forward everthing like this:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8180/appname/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8180/appname/

and it just works fine. I can reach my app via: http://domain.tld

Everytime I use a redirect like (in navigation.xml):

<navigation-rule>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>registered</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/registered.xhtml</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>

Seam redirects me to: http://domain.tld/appname/registered.seam.

Why is appname/ before registered.sem? Any ideas how i can prevent this?

Thanks & greetings from Vienna/Austria

Hi,

This is not really a seam question but a apache / tomcat one.

Anyway one way is to get tomcat to serve your app as in the root.

Here is an example tomcat server.xml for this:

<Host name="www.mysite.co.uk" debug="0" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
                appBase="/home/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/webapps/MyWar">

                <Context path="" docBase="" debug="1"/>
        </Host>

Then the apache proxy stuff will work.  Better would be to use mod-jk as that will handle errors better, etc.
