APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Note: PM27451 supersedes this fix.
    
    
    
    With URI Home Substitution enabled, it is possible for the
    necessary redirect to get lost in the state processing that
    follows (and should ideally be skipped entirely).
    
    This APAR re-implements the entire URI Home Substitution as
    servlet filter, thus eliminating the risk of the redirect to
    get as in the rest of the state processing.

Problem summary

  • With URI Home Substitution enabled, it is possible for the
    necessary redirect to get lost in the state processing that
    follows (and should ideally be skipped entirely).
    

Problem conclusion

  • This APAR re-implements the entire URI Home Substitution as
    servlet filter, thus eliminating the risk of the redirect to get
    as in the rest of the state processing.
    
    Manual Steps:
    In order to enable this functionality, the following two steps
    will be necessary:
    
    (1) Using the WAS Admin Console, set the following configuration
    property in the resource environment provider "WP
    ConfigService":
    
    uri.home.substitution=true
    
    (2) Add the following servlet filter and filter mapping to the
    web.xml of the wps.war file:
    
    <filter>
      <filter-name>Home Substitution Filter</filter-name>
    
    <filter-class>com.ibm.wps.engine.ServletSubstitutionFilter</filt
    er-class>
    </filter>
    
    ....
    
    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>Home Substitution Filter</filter-name>
         <url-pattern>/portal/*</url-pattern>
      </filter-mapping>
    
    Both filter and filter mapping can be added anywhere in the
    web.xml to the list of existing filter and filter mappings,
    ideally though they would go first.
    
    Please see the sections on Exporting and Redeploying the portal
    EAR file in the InfoCenter.
