RE: [rules-users] RE: Deploying the BRMS on Web-Sphere 6.1

I never use the 0.0 versions of IBM products, avoid the headaches and wait for at least the first fixpacks. Our existing apps moved fine from 6.0 to 6.1.0.9, did not try Drools BRMS though. -----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Vikrant Yagnick Sent: 23 September 2008 07:50 To: Rules Users List Subject: RE: [rules-users] RE: Deploying the BRMS on Web-Sphere 6.1 Well it is not that serious a problem as I initially thought. As I mentioned the URL(adding the index.jsp) works, so there is an easy work-around available. The main bug seems to be that if a URL is sent to WebSphere which does not have a physical file in it the filter which should kick in and re-direct does not do so. (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg1PK27620) This has nothing to do with the BRMS of course and is a problem for all Web-Apps in this version of Websphere(We are using 6.1.0.0). Adding the index.jsp to the URL seems to work fine for now. I am working on the BRMS to see if there are any other side-effects of this. Maybe, we should update a Wiki or troubleshooting doc on this so that it is known to the community. Digging around IBM Support after my post, I have found quite a few bugs mentioned in version 6.1 regarding how Servlet Filters work and of some on JSF(Especially JBOSS Seam) problems with the particular version. (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK47367) IBM has however provided patches for all of them and I am going to give another shot at seeing the behavior after upgrading to a higher release. -----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Michael Neale Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 5:25 AM To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] RE: Deploying the BRMS on Web-Sphere 6.1 Hi Vikrant. well the drools-guvnor/ doesn't use a filter so much as it is default web.xml behaviour - you can specify a "welcome" page, which it goes to when the root path is supplied. If Websphere 6.1 can't even do that - I would say something is seriously wrong (may be a bad install?) - you could try it with a really simple war that just has 1 jsp and a web.xml and see if it happens with it? although I think: As for servlet filters - as we use Seam, it uses servlet filters to manage lifecycles, so yes, that could be it (if its not the above). It isn't possible to replace the filters, as they do a very different job from servlets (although the difference is subtle). What would be better would be to work out what the problem is with websphere and filters I think.
