JBoss AS 7: How to modify the server banner

[b_prajesh]

I have a web app running in the following two setups: 1) JBoss running on Windows7 and 2) JBoss running with an apache httpd reverse proxy on CentOS.

I downloaded and added jbossWebService.jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory in order to use the org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter class. Following is my filter configuration.

<filter>
 <filter-name>CommonHeadersFilter</filter-name>
 <filter-class>
 org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter</filter-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>X-Powered-By</param-name>
 <param-value>MyWeb</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
     <param-name>Connection</param-name>
     <param-value>keep-alive</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
     <param-name>Server</param-name>
     <param-value>MyServer</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
     <param-name>Cache-Control</param-name>
     <param-value>max-age=3600</param-value>
 </init-param>
</filter>

What I see in the browser:

The JBoss without apache httpd shows the following:

X-Powered-By: MyWeb, JSP/2.2

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1, MyServer

The JBoss with apache as reverse proxy shows the following:

X-Powered-By: MyWeb, JSP/2.2

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

What I want:

The Apache-Coyote/1.1 and the JSP/2.2 to go away. The one behind apache httpd does not even show MyServer as the server banner. I would like that to show up, but that's not a necessity.

p.s.

In apache httpd conf file, I have

ServerTokens ProductOnly 
ServerSignature Off

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Not sure where the filter configuration part went. Here it is again.

<filter>

<filter-name>CommonHeadersFilter</filter-name>

<filter-class>

org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter</filter-class>

<init-param>

<param-name>X-Powered-By</param-name>

<param-value>MyWeb</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

     <param-name>Connection</param-name>

     <param-value>keep-alive</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

     <param-name>Server</param-name>

     <param-value>MyServer</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

     <param-name>Cache-Control</param-name>

     <param-value>max-age=3600</param-value>

</init-param>

</filter>

X-Powered-By is controled via the x-powered-by (true/false) of the jsp-configuration.

[b_prajesh]

Thanks! I added the configuration lines inside the web module of my standalone.xml, that is, I added them under

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">

		<configuration>
			<jsp-configuration display-source-fragment="false" x-powered-by="false"></jsp-configuration>
		</configuration>

The x-powered-by still shows up as JSP/2.2 - any idea?

I have the same problem, with this configuration :

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">

    <configuration>

        <jsp-configuration x-powered-by="false"/>

    </configuration>

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

    <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">

        <alias name="localhost"/>

    </virtual-server>

</subsystem>

And I see that :

X-Powered-By: JSP/2.2

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

Why the X-Powered-By isn't hidden ?

[jfclere]

the "X-Powered-By" is added by the jsp compilation. You need to touch the .jsp file to get them recompiled to the flag action.
