Brett,

Yes indeed, mostly those packages which used to install into their own web context
as ccm-userpreferences, or ccm-ldn-themes as an example. They contain include
statements like "../../../../ROOT/static/.......", because they directly use
resources from modules installed into ROOT (and vice versa) - very strange
design.

I startet to check all the xml files and to remove all absolute adressing.

I studied your hints about SimpleURIResolver - and I'm wondering a little bit
about the design decisions behind it. I think XML templates, which render a
xml information to html, are very private to the module which maintains that
information. It should never be used by any other module directly, and even
more so by another web application (if there is a need to access that information,
an jee service or a content type as proxy site or xmlfeed should be used). So
I would expect a real "Simple" way would be to resolve any xsl template as a
resource relative to it's own context.

Things are even worse with the parameter waf.web.server, which must contain
the correct url including the port, otherwise c.ad.templating.XSLTemplate can
not find the resource (fails at line 100). I suppose, an application user should
not be forced to take the system administrators cnfiguration philosophy into
account. Why not fetch it from the we applications context?

Even more worse with c.ad.caching.CacheServlet. It reads the host's name and
port from a persistent database table (we have no maintenance tool as to my
knowledge). So every time the system administrator modifies e.g. the port, we
either produce a bunch of log errors or we have to manually edit the database.

Do you have a solution / idea for these latter two issue as well? I'm eager
to study your patch.


Peter
