How to change target adress of ajax request of RichFaces components (RichFaces and TAM integration)

[matysek]

Hi all,

     I have a serious problem with RichFaces and A4j components used in my application. Application is accessed via TAM (Tivoli Access Manager). Problem is that TAM change all URL which it has found in generated html code and append string after server name. Example:

     Application URL outside TAM: http://someserver/AppName/index.xhtml

     Application URL inside TAM:   https://someserver/was70ssl/AppName/index.xhtml

Components are loaded properly for first time when is application accessed over TAM. After first ajax request (like rendering some part of page). I have problems with loading images and 404 errors after click on a4j buttons (Example: rich:calendar lost his calendar icon. Images for opening subrows in SimpleDataTable are not loaded after rereder). Image target is set to wrong server address (because of TAM change of url). I have seen that in Firebug (a lot of 404).

I am sure that components using ajax generate wrong address to server on client side. I know that this is unusual problem. I am not a RichFaces expert so I would be please if you can give me a hint how to solve this problem.

Have I rewrite component renderer? Is there some other way?

Actually you have two option.

First of all you shoult activate the tivoli access managers java-script support so all files get scanned for URLs to replace.

This option did not work for me.

So secondly you could use the transparent path option of the Access Manager which is new since Webseal 6.1. With this option url rewriting is no longer necessary.
