Hi All,
I have witnessed some bizarre behaviour on SJSAS 9 PE Update 1 Patch 1 which comes as part of Java EE SDK 5 Update 2 on Mac OS X. I have a few questions below.
I downloaded Java EE SDK 5 with Netbeans - complete fresh install. The default install of SJSAS is configured with a virtual server, server with a SSL port 8181 and a non-SSL port 8080.
I created two new http-listeners on the virtual server, server:
1. SSL http-listener on 7171
2. Non-SSL http-listener on 7070 with redirect port for SSL on 7171.
I then deployed the quickstart application that comes with SJSAS 9 PE, but added the following to the web.xml (via netbeans).
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Constraint1</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Automatic SSL Forwarding</web-resource-name>
<description/>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<description/>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
It deploys fine and restart server.
When i hit on
http://localhost:8080/quickstart, i am redirected to
https://localhost:8181/quickstart.
QUESTION: There is no re-direct port specified for 8080, however it redirects to 8181. How does SJSAS know how to redirect to 8181 without the redirect-port attribute set?
Next, when i hit
http://localhost:7070/quickstart, i am redirected to
https://localhost:8181/quickstart NOT
https://localhost:7171/quickstart
QUESTION: This is unexpected behaviour as i set the redirect port to 7171 for http-listener 7070 - why is SJSAS not honoring the redirect-port value?
Next i decided to create a new virtual server, Test_Server. I added the http-listeners 7070 and 7171 to this new virtual server and deployed the quickstart app. I removed these two listeners from the virtual server named server and restarted the server.
I get the same behaviour e.g.
http://localhost:7070/quickstart is redirected to
https://localhost:8181/quickstart;
http://localhost:8080/quickstart is redirected to
https://localhost:8181/quickstart.
Moreover if i go to
http://localhost:7070, i get redirected to
https://localhost:8181 (this did not happen when i had all listeners on same virtual server).
QUESTION: Can anyone explain this behaviour?
Kind Regards,
Michelle.
