Deploying in non-ROOT context fails if not named "wayback"

[ldko]

Trying to deploy in a non-ROOT context is only working for me (using documentation at https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/wiki/Deploying-OpenWayback-in-non-ROOT-Context) if I give mycontext as "wayback" (deploy the app as wayback.war). Otherwise, going to the default URL tells me to go to an accesspoint that has the same name as the context name I deployed as and querying is broken.

Seems like /wayback/ is hard-coded in a number of places in wayback.xml...

<bean name="standardaccesspoint" class="org.archive.wayback.webapp.AccessPoint">
<property name="accessPointPath" value="${wayback.url.prefix}/wayback/"/>

...

<property name="replayPrefix" value="${wayback.url.prefix}/wayback/" />
<property name="queryPrefix" value="${wayback.url.prefix}/wayback/" />
<property name="staticPrefix" value="${wayback.url.prefix}/wayback/" />
...

<property name="uriConverter">
<bean class="org.archive.wayback.archivalurl.ArchivalUrlResultURIConverter">
<property name="replayURIPrefix" value="${wayback.url.prefix}/wayback/"/>
</bean>
</property>

These should probably be turned into a ${wayback.context} path variable, or similar.

I am not sure that is the whole issue.

The way I would think it should work using the default config with non-ROOT context, and how I read it noted in the doc, is that if you stick the context name onto wayback.url.prefix, then your configuration should work, with an access point of "wayback". For example, I am trying to deploy with lauren.war. I am setting the variable as:

wayback.url.prefix=${wayback.url.scheme}://${wayback.url.host}:${wayback.url.port}/lauren

and in theory, if I leave standardaccesspoint as is, I would access my collection at: http://localhost:8080/lauren/wayback/. But if I go there I get a 404. If I go to http://localhost:8080/lauren/, I get a message:

    You seem to be accessing this OpenWayback via an incorrect URL. Please try one of the following   

AccessPoints:

lauren

If I click on that, I get the search page with a broken icon, and if I try to search for something, there is a redirect loop.

If, however, I take that config and change the prefix variable to:

wayback.url.prefix=${wayback.url.scheme}://${wayback.url.host}:${wayback.url.port}/wayback

and move the OpenWayback app directory in Tomcat's webapps called "lauren" to be called "wayback" and restart Tomcat, then I can access the working app as expected at http://localhost:8080/wayback/wayback/, with no problem.

Ah, yes, you're quite right - please forgive my confusion. Can you try changing the accessPointPath to this?:

<property name="accessPointPath" value="${wayback.url.port}:wayback"/>

EDITED Should have been ${wayback.url.port} not ${wayback.port}

I don't think that exact change is working for me, but looking back at the mailing list threads, I found the working standardaccesspoint config that Ilya posted that I can get to work now. I will change the non-ROOT documentation page to add the additional changes needed on the default wayback.xml and close the ticket. Thank you, Andy.

Thanks Lauren - sorry I wasn't more helpful!

I have modified the documentation at https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/wiki/Deploying-OpenWayback-in-non-ROOT-Context, to configure a working non-ROOT deployment.
