Hi everyone!

We use RAP for the UI part of our project and I'm experiencing some
strange session-timeout behaviour. When accessing the RAP servlet url with
a trailing slash ("/myproject/"), the first ajax request from the initial
HTML page (*):

" w4t_survey=true&w4t_scriptEnabled=true&w4t_ajaxEnabl ed=true&startup=default&w4t_width=1280&w4t_heigh t=453
&9012615=603%2C13&30501214=785%2C20&12433070=546 %2C12&w1.bounds.width=1280&w1.bounds.height=453& uiRoot=w1 "

runs ok, resulting javascript response that renders the login page just
fine. Then the secong request is performed:

" w12.mode=maximized&20627169=53%2C20&w1.focusControl= w11&uiRoot=w1&requestCounter=3 "

which results the response, containing the initial HTML of the page again!
So the Request.js _handleCompleted() sees the response content starting
with the "<!DOCTYPE" and displays the session timeout message, providing a
link to the same "/myproject/" page.

That's weird, but it works just fine when accessing the URL w/o the slash
- "/myproject".

What could cause such a behavior?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Alexander Eliseyev

Hi Alexander,

Apparently, RAP cannot deal with the trailing slash, you need to use the
correct URL which is http://host:port/myproject in your case - without a
trailing slash. Most web servers redirect silently, so the two URLs
might be perceived equivalent, but in fact there aren't.

However, I agree that RAP behaves strangely here, as the first request
succeeds, but then the seconds one fails - because of a falsely arranged
URL. Would you mind opening a bug report for this problem?

If you're using an Apache based setup, you could probably work around
this using some redirection magic there.

Best regards, Ralf
