Hi List, Sent this yesterday, but it seemed to not get through to the list. My apologies if it's come through already. :
I'm badly stuck with a STRUTS web-app that runs fine on Tomcat, but refuses to bahave nicely in production, where a Netscape Proxy on port 80 maps to a Netscape Webserver on port 8080, which in turn, with Weblogic plugin, does loadbalancing to 2 Weblogic machines on port 7001. As I don't have a lot of STRUTS experience, I stuck closely to the struts-blank application and tuto, and used the struts-html tags as advertised, including the <html:base> tag and the <html:form> tag. Accessed through the proxy, the RequestUtils.getActionMappingURL() that (it appears) does the real work inside those tags produces wrong servername / port combinations (correct would be the Proxy's name on port 80). What compounds the problem is that the web-app is a frameset. Unusual, granted, but works just fine in Tomcat (inter-frame communication with event-model using javascript). The wrong resolution of <html:base> leads to multiple user-sessions within the frameset (Bad Thing) (one session per frame). Without success, we've tried several strategies to get around the problem: - use <html:base> or just the regular html <base> tag, hard setting server to proper value -> still gets multiple sessions, also can't get the port right. - get rid of <base> tag in all incarnations, only use relative links from / level, works just fine on tomcat but still fails in production, presumably because the <html:form> tag still resolves wrong? .. could also be because I still use RequestUtils.getActionMappingURL() to get the URL for the frame src definitions in the frameset. I had trouble getting the frames any other way in the absence of the base tag. I'm now wondering if I can safely do completely without RequestUtils and use simple html <form> instead of struts <html:form> ?? Does the core functionality of Actions, ActionForms and mappings still work if I replace the struts <html:form> tag with just <form> ?? Or is there another way around this? Any pointers much appreciated !
