[Mapbuilder-devel] Proxy Issues and choices

[Roald de W. <rd...@us...>]

Hi List,

The use of the <proxyUrl> settings confuses me a bit. Let me explain the
situation:

For Apache based installations the default proxy is:
mapbuilder/server/php/proxy.php

For J2EE based installations the default is: mapbuilder/proxy

This default proxy does not seem to work for me: it passes the forward
URL KVP as 
	serverUrl=http://server.to.forward.to
It seems that this proxy would rather have it like this:
	url=http://server.to.forward.to

We also have mapbuilder/MapbuilderProxy.jsp To get our application
working correctly under J2EE we now need to manually set the <proxyUrl>
to that JSP file in our config.xml

The problem then is, that the application doesn't work under Apache/PHP
anymore!

I found out that changing the default proxy in this file solves our
problem:
mapbuilder/server/java/web/lib/mapbuilderConfig.jsp:

<proxyUrl><%= request.getContextPath() %>/MapbuilderProxy.jsp</proxyUrl>

Is there a good reason for not setting the default proxy to this value?
Am I overlooking something?

Greetings, Roald
