deploying ops.war in a non-root context

Hi (Erik),

I've tried deploying ops.war in a non-root context (part of myapp.ear, context=/myapp/ops). While accessing ops resources directly worked (i.e. checking the samples), However, if any code (say, a servlet) under /myapp caused an Orbeon exception, the Orbeon error page has its CSS incorrectly referenced so the page rendering is broken.

Is Orbeon intended only to be deployed under the root context or is this just a bug? Since our app will coexist with others (with unknown names, depending on the client, the fewer root contexts the better - customers may need to configure firewall/proxy rules and do on).

Thanks,
JL

Jean-Luc,

I assume you are doing separate deployment, and that the scenario is
that there is an exception on the Orbeon side?

Currently, there is no URL rewriting taking place for CSS resources
and the likes when you are in separate deployment. This may explain
the issue.

Are you actually deploying things this way?

Re: deploying ops.war in a non-root context

Yes, it's a separate deployment.So, to confirm, Orbeon will currently work only if its context is directly under <a href="http://server:port">http://server:port ? As an example (and again, the scenario is that there is an exception thrown by Orbeon when processing the output of an application).

<a href="http://server:port/ops">http://server:port/ops is ok
<a href="http://server:port/">http://server:port/myapp/ops is not.

Thanks, JL

Jean-Luc,

No, it should work with any context. I am not sure I understand your
problem anymore though: I thought the issue you encountered was that
*if* there was an error, the error page's CSS would be wrong. This can
certainly be annoying, but this is not the same as saying that Orbeon
Forms will not work at all.

Re: deploying ops.war in a non-root context

Indeed, is not the same. I was writing with my case in mind (embed orbeon.war in myapp.ear and set orbeon's context to /myapp/orbeon). I did a quick search in the source and see the paths to the CSS files are built dynamically - it's unclear from a quick glance how many places require a fix.
