When deploying in non-ROOT context in Archival mode, ServerRelativeArchivalRedirect does not resolve URLs correctly

[ldko]

I am running openwayback in Archival URL Replay Mode. I do not have openwayback deployed in the ROOT context.

I have this bean in my wayback.xml:

  <!--
    Last ditch attempt to resolve server-relative URLs (/page1.htm) that were 
    not successfully rewritten, resolving them against the referring URL to
    get them back on track.
  -->
  <bean name="+" class="org.archive.wayback.webapp.ServerRelativeArchivalRedirect">
    <property name="matchPort" value="8080" />
    <property name="useCollection" value="true" />
  </bean>

The issue seems to be that handleRequestWithCollection in ServerRelativeArchivalRedirect uses the first path segment to parse the collection name out of the referer. Because I am not deploying openwayback in the ROOT context, the collection name is not the first path segment. Instead the code seems to set the context path as the collection name which results in a failure to correctly resolve the URL.

Issue can be seen with: http://webarchive.library.unt.edu/unt/eotcd/20131004144902/http://research.library.unt.edu/eotcd/wiki/Main_Page

In the HTML is:

        <style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">/*<![CDATA[*/
            @import "/eotcd/w/skins/common/shared.css?303";
            @import "/eotcd/w/skins/thowikiskin/main.css?303";
        /*]]>*/</style>

Trying to resolve those CSS URLs results in an infinite loop.

Hi Lauren, I updated the documentation. Maybe this section will be of help to you: https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/wiki/How-to-install#the-access-url-for-the-collection.

Using the documentation at https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/wiki/How-to-install, I went through several install scenarios with different outcomes.
Attempt 1:

• Installed latest version of Oracle Java

• Installed Tomcat 7.0.54

• Got source code with: git clone https://github.com/iipc/openwayback.git

• Changed directory to openwayback/wayback-webapp

• ran mvn clean package

• I started up Tomcat

• I took the .war file from wayback-webapp/target and copied it to the Tomcat webapps directory for deployment but changed the name to archive.war. It was deployed.

• I modified the wayback.xml according to the How-to-install documentation to have:

  wayback.basedir=/tmp/wayback wayback.urlprefix=http://localhost:8080/archive/wayback/

and to have:

- I restarted Tomcat and go to http://localhost:8080/archive/wayback/ as the documentation suggests, but I get a 404 page.

I go to http://localhost:8080/archive/ and get the message:
You seem to be accessing this OpenWayback via an incorrect URL. Please try one of the following AccessPoints:

archive

This is OpenWayback. Any URL in ARC files accessible to this sevice can be searched above.

• I click on the access point named "archive" it lists, and it takes me to this access point where there is a broken logo image, and trying to search or click on Home or Help results in a redirect loop.
• I am not sure why there is an access point called "archive"
• Also of note, there is a typo in that message with "sevice"

Attempt 2:
I asked a programmer in my division who had never deployed Wayback to do so. His result in trying to configure Tomcat in a non-ROOT context was the same as mine (he deployed the WAR as owb.war).

Attempt 3:

Deployed in ROOT context using CDXCollection.xml, and it worked fine.

Attempt 4:

• Dowloaded the latest distribution from http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/netpreserve/openwayback/openwayback-dist/2.0.0.BETA.2/openwayback-dist-2.0.0.BETA.2-2.0.0.BETA.2.tar.gz
• Ran: tar -xvzf openwayback-dist-2.0.0.BETA.2-2.0.0.BETA.2.tar.gz
• Copied the .war file to the Tomcat webapps directory as archive.war
• Got same result as with building from source

Attempt 5:

• Dowloaded the latest distribution from http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/netpreserve/openwayback/openwayback-dist/2.0.0.BETA.2/openwayback-dist-2.0.0.BETA.2-2.0.0.BETA.2.tar.gz
• Ran: tar -xvzf openwayback-dist-2.0.0.BETA.2-2.0.0.BETA.2.tar.gz
• Copied to the .war file to the Tomcat webapps directory as wayback.war
• Deploying as "wayback" context worked when following the wayback.xml changes given at the How-to-install page! However, it did not fix When deploying in non-ROOT context in Archival mode, ServerRelativeArchivalRedirect does not resolve URLs correctly #92. Also, if I change the access point name to something other than "wayback", it breaks.

I am replacing this issue with #131 that you may or may not find to be more sensible.
