[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.

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.

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.
