Remoting Destination Port Problem

[andin]

Hi,

I'm trying to use remoting to access Seam Components (port 8080) in an ordinary, apache served .html (port 80).

The Problem is, that the AJAX Request is directed to localhost/xyz, instead of localhost:8080. Rewriting the destination by hand, using a security proxy like paros, it works like a charme! I can't find any place to set up the right port. Theoretically, this will work without setting up a port by just sending the request from where the script comes from, but my javascript capabilities are to limited to tackle down the right place...

Any hints will by appreciated...

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:8080/xyz/seam/resource/remoting/resource/remote.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"

        src="http://localhost:8080/xyz/seam/resource/remoting/interface.js?PriceSheetObtainmentRequestAction"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">

  //<![CDATA[

  function getStatus() {

    Seam.Component.getInstance("PriceSheetObtainmentRequestAction").getPriceSheetStatus(1234, sayHelloCallback);

  }


  function sayHelloCallback(result) {

    alert(result);

  }

   // ]]>

</script>

Hmmm. stupid me.

The Same Origin Policy is effectivly blocking my efforts...

Why am a doing such stuff? I wan't to get some new information in a legacy app, without messing with its code.

Maybe I try with apache acting as a proxy...

I love this stuff!

Enable Proxy for apache2

a2enmod proxy
a2enmod  proxy_http

setup site:

<VirtualHost *:80>

     ProxyPreserveHost on

     <Location /xyz>
          ProxyPass       http://127.0.0.1:8081/xyz
          ProxyPassReverse    http://127.0.0.1:8081/xyz
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
</Location>

server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="8081" 
       address="${jboss.bind.address}"  
       enableLookups="false"  
       connectionTimeout="20000" 
       redirectPort="8443" 
       proxyName="yourhostnamehere" 
       proxyPort="80" />

This does the trick for a local setup. Nice!
