![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description WebSphere does not service welcome files correctly w/filters.Local fix none availProblem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of * * Welcome Files and Servlet 2.3 Specification * * Filtering. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Welcome File requests are not filtered * * when URI from the Welcome File list is * * specified as a filter. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** WebSphere handling of Welcome Files differs from the reference implemenation Tomcat 4.0. When a Welcome File request is made in Tomcat, the request is serviced via a http refresh (sendRedirect) resulting in a separate request being made to the welcome file. In WebSphere 5.0, the request is handled via an internal request dispatcher request to the welcome file page. This results in different behavior with filters since filters are only executed on the requested URI and not subsequent forwards or includes executed during the service of a particular request.Problem conclusion Modified the handling of Welcome Files to behave as the reference implementation (Tomcat 4.0) when users specify an initialization parameter for the File Serving Servlet set via the Application Assembly Tool (AAT). To enable this property: 1) Open predeployed ear file inside of AAT. 2) Expand the EAR file. 3) Expand the list of web modules. 4) Expand Assembly Property Extensions. 5) Right mouse click on File Serving Attributes 6) Select new. 7) Add Name=redirectToWelcomeFile Value=true 8) Save and redeploy the ear file.Temporary fix ZE FIX ERROR PQ80003 03/10/24Comments
