JSP Preview

HI All,

I am genterating jsp file from Teamsite,once I entered the data in datacapture form and then preview or generate the jsp file,
it treats the jsp file like a html file and it doesn't run any jsp coding.
I have searched the post for this but couldn't get the right solution

I set the smart context tab option in iw.cfg file but there is no code appearing in browseer.
So Is anybody knows please let me know ..

Regards,

You haven't given any details on your setup, so any help you get will be fairly "generic." Which servlet engine are you using to try to virtualize your content?

In a "stock" install of TeamSite, content is virtualized using IIS (if Windows) or Apache (if Unix). Neither understands anything about .jsp pages, so you'd see exactly what you're describing.

That means I have to install an Application Sever seperately and route all the Jsp files in that application server in order to compile before view or preview.
that's what you are describing.
I am using TeamSite 6.1 with apache exactly.
I thought TeamSite has got an instance of Servletd which would work with Jsp.

Teamsite has an instance of tomcat (servletd) for its own internal use. It also uses apache for its own internal use.

They are black box versions shipped with TeamSite and shouldn't be messed with.

TeamSite itself is a pre production environment, so you need your own web servers / application servers etc to render your content.

TeamSite uses its own servers to render its GUI, NOT to render customer managed websites.

If you are using apache currently, it should mean that you have set up a separate version of apache to the TeamSite installation.

Hi,

This means that we need to configure any other webserver and map the JSP locations in it. Then how we will redirect the request to that server when we are using the preview option for the JSP so generated.

Look at proxy configurations

I installed the new Apache Tomcat application server in order to redirect the request for Jsp and then I modified iw.cfg file such as
[iwproxy_preconnect_remap]
_regex=(.*)/Java/WORKAREA/(.*)=http://localhost:6080/Java/WORKAREA/$2
#_regex=^/iw-mount/(.*)\.jsp(\?.*)?$=http://localhost:6080/Java/WORKAREA/$2

And I also modifed server.xml file in tomcat such as

<Context path="/iw-mount"
docBase="/./iwmnt"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
trusted="false" />

<Context path="/"
docBase="/./iwmnt/default/main/Java/WORKAREA/nauman"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
trusted="false" />

And I restart apache tomcat and interwoven server but when I run the jsp file, I got the error 404 which says Java/WORKAREA/nauman/testjsp.jsp is not available or Not Found.

If somebody has an idea where i am making mistakes, please let me know.

Well, your regex is going to end up sending a URL that looks something like http://localhost:6080/Java/WORKAREA/nauman/file1.jsp to TomCat. I'll admit that I'm no TomCat expert, but, if I read your configuration settings correctly, that should end up transiating to a file path of /./iwmnt/default/main/Java/WORKAREA/nauman/Java/WORKAREA/nauman/file1.jsp, which I don't think you intended.

You might try changing your regex to be something like:

_regex=(.*/Java/WORKAREA/[^/]]+)/(.*)=http://localhost:6080/$2

or change your docBase to /.iwmnt/default/main.

Hi Dwayne,

I made the changes that you mentioned in your post, page is being displayed on the browser but that is not directing to the Apache Tomcat because Jsp code is not interpreted. And I also checked to shutdown tomcat server and click on the jsp page and that page is being displayed which is running from the web sever where all other html pages run.
As far as my previous setting in my earlier post that redirecting the request to application server because i checked to shutdown the server. Still I am at no where to solve this issue.

Well, that may be because there's an error in my regex. What I originally wrote was

_regex=(.*/Java/WORKAREA/[^/]]+)/(.*)=http://localhost:6080/$2

That second ] didn't belong there. So it should have read:

_regex=(.*/Java/WORKAREA/[^/]+)/(.*)=http://localhost:6080/$2

I applied this change but it still saying testjsp.jsp is not found Error 404.

I assume you restarted iwproxy after making the change to iw.cfg ?
Tried running iwproxy in debug mode and looking at the log ?

Dwayne

Well, I don't see anything obviously wrong with the regex, assuming that the testjsp.jsp page is in fact in the naumank workarea of the /default/main/Java branch.

You might try removing the "/" contextPath section completely, and just leaving in the /iw-mount context path. Then use a regex something like:

_regex=(.*\.jsp$)=http://localhost:6080$1

which should redirect ALL URLs that end it .jsp to that same URL running on port 6080.

Other than that, I'm afaid I'm out of ideas, given my limited knowledge of TomCat configuration.

BTW - you are doing an iwreset -ui after changing the proxy settings, right? And restarting TomCat (or whatever is required) when changing it's config file.

Hi Dwayne,

As for the Context Path I put /iwmnt/default/main and then I entered _regex=(.*\.jsp$)=http://localhost:6080$1 as you mentioned in your last post and Jsp worked and all jsp code is interpreting, Atleast I have reached to this point that everything is ok only regex setting is causing a problem.
Dwayne thanks for your help to solve this othewise i won't and I keep trying with different regex to solve this issue more.

You need to create a webapp for each workarea that you want to virtualize your content.

So... in your tomcat/conf/server.xml you would have entries similar to this


        <Context path="/branch1_area1_app1" 
                 docBase="Y:\default\main\branch1\WORKAREA\area1\app1\"
                 crossContext="true"
                 debug="0" 
                 reloadable="true" 
                  />

Because you will need one for each workarea that your app exists in to virtualize, you will need a naming convention to determine which area belongs to which app.

This example shows [BRANCH]_[WORKAREA]_[AppName]

You can easily pull these out in your proxy regex to create the call to your app server.

_regex=^/iw-mount/[^/]+/main/([^/]+/)*([^/]+)/WORKAREA/([^/]+)/.*app1/(zz_tst_[^_]+_[^_]+_)?(.*)$=http://localhost:7001/$2_$3_app1/$5

This regex may need more work if you have many apps/servers etc etc, its just an example.

http://localhost:7001 is the location and port of your installed app server.
If it is not locahost, you will need to mount your IWServer share from teamsite before the appserver is started.

The (zz_tst_[^_]+_[^_]+_)? line is there due to a preview bug in proxy rewrite process changes since iw_ostream was introduced.
It's been registered as a bug, but I haven't heard if it has been fixed; it was a while a go.
Let me know if you want more details as to the nature of it.
Maybe someone knows of a cleaner way

Just to be clear...

The contents of
Y:\default\main\branch1\WORKAREA\area1\app1\

is a Java webapp...

If you search for this sort of stuff (i think in the integrations forum mainly), you will find many threads

Just to be even clearer...

The goal is to rewrite it as...

/default/main/branch1/WORKARA/area1/app1/sample.jsp

to...

http://localhost:7001/branch1_area1_app1/sample.jsp
