Configuring URL of actions in WebDynpro

[Former Member]

Hello,

Our applications developed in Web Dynpro will go-live and we have a problem in our external access within the domain that was given by our client, in which our applications will be hosted.

The WebServer (CE) will be hosted in www.nameofcliente.com/services. So an example of valid URL is www.nameofcliente.com/services/webdynpro/ExampleApp.

We have no problem accessing that kind of URL, and the first call is beeing well rendered by the web browser. The problem we are facing is: All the forms and actions executed by the rendered page are not including the /services in the action URL.

Example: The rendered page has a button that submit some data to the server. The URL of the action of this button is beeing generated as www.nameofcliente.com/webdynpro/ExampleApp. The /services will be missing, so the firewall/DNS wont resolve the call, and the Web Dynpro application wont be find.

We understand that this is a natural problem related to the URL domain pattern.

Our question: Is there a configuration in the Web Dynpro properties within NWA that can change the way URLs are generated for further actions. In our case, append a "/services" before every application context associated to an action?

Any other solution to our problem would be very appreciatted!

Thanks!

Hi,

You can find a lot of examples. one of them is http://netweaverturk.com/2010/09/04/exposing-portal-bsp-to-internet-apache-way/

Hi,

How do you publish your Java to web. You can achieve this using reverse proxy. Please give more information about your connection.

Hi Erhan, thanks for your answer.

The network is set as follows:

A WebDispatcher 7.2 communicates with a NetWeaver Portal 7.0 and a CE 7.2. The CE runs the WebDynpro applications. Before we change proxy and firewall behavior we would like to make that change on WebDynpro links.

WebDynpro needs to be published as www.domain.com/services/<context of webdynpro application>.

The /services is removed on the WebDynpro inner links. We can workaround it with a proxy filter, appending that part of the address, but we would like to do it on the WebDynpro configuration, if it is possible within the NWA parameters, but we didnt find any configuration related to that yet.

Hi,

You cant do that with wd properties. So you have to workaround. And also if you have chance to use Apache Reverse Proxy try it.
