APAR status Closed as program error. Error description The rule *.jsp is causing problems for customers. When the customer calls his app using port 80 it fails, works using 9080 Problem with URI matching.Local fix The "*.jsp" rule is causing problems for customers. Customer can add an application, can not access on port 80 but is successful for port 9080 due to URI matching.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server version 4 * * users of the webserver plugins. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The plugin would perform a first match * * of the incoming request parameters with * * the routing rules. The generic rule * * used by the samples of *.jsp would * * prematurely cause the route * * determination to end and could result * * in the plugin routing to the incorrect * * application server. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The plugin matching algorithm is a first match algorithm and could result in the request being sent to an unwanted app server for jsp requests when the sample apps are installed.Problem conclusion The plugin now uses a best match algorithm where uri matching is scored and depending on what rule has the highest score the plugin will pick the best route for the request. A better score is obtained by larger numbers of characters for a rule matching the inbound request.Temporary fix Comments
