Hi users,

I discovered different behavior of RAP 1.4 und 1.5 M1.
There is code snippet below.

ServletContext sc = RWT.getRequest().getSession().getServletContext();
System.out.println("<<<>>> RealPath /WEB-INF: " + sc.getRealPath("/WEB-INF"));
System.out.println("<<<>>> RealPath /: " + sc.getRealPath("/"));

After deploying in Tomcat the console shows the following:

--> RAP 1.4
<<<>>> RealPath /WEB-INF: ...\tomcat\webapps\test14\WEB-INF
<<<>>> RealPath /: ...\tomcat\webapps\test14\

--> RAP 1.5 M1
<<<>>> RealPath /WEB-INF: .../tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/test15/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.rap.ui/context/WEB-INF
<<<>>> RealPath /: .../tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/test15/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.rap.ui/context/

I'm not an expert in Web-Apps, but from the one's I know the result of RAP 1.4 seems to be the correct one.
This behavior came unexpected for me and without a warning. May be I missed some documentation? What will be the behavior in a 1.5 release version?

Also, I'm trying to implement security like shown in http;//wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/Equinox_Security_Integration.
There is also a different behavior. In RAP 1.4 the application continues starting after pressing the Login-button, in 1.5 the dialog disappears and nothing more happens.

Does anyone has any ideas or further information?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
regarding security be careful, JAAS in equinox security bundle is not really well supported in server side environment (see bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215828)
I started using it but facing issues because of this bug, so I had to revert back to a classical web application declarative security for authentication.

Just to inform you
Regards,
Arnaud

Hi,

seems to me that you've found a bug that belongs to the RWT-OSGi integration. Could you please file a bugzilla entry to follow the progress on this issue? I will have a look at it asap as I agree that the 1.4 behaviour on tomcat deployment is the correct one.

Regarding the equinox-security-integration bundle I must have a look whether this also belongs to the refactorings that came with RWT-OSGi integration stuff.

Regards
Frank Appel
