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.
