[Webware-discuss] Forwarded requests and exception reports

[Oliver B. <ol...@g7...>]

To provide more concise URLs to users, I use a servlet called index.py 
to forward requests.  I'm sure I didn't think this up myself, but I 
cannot find it in the current docs.

from WebKit.HTTPServlet import HTTPServlet
class index(HTTPServlet):
  def respond(self, trans):
    trans.application().forward(trans, '/RealServlet' + 
trans.request().extraURLPath() )

This has been working well for me except when I override 
writeExceptionReport(), in which case I see this under the "Session" 
heading of the exception report:

Uncaught exception while asking *servlet* to write report:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/oliver/Webware-0.9.1/WebKit/Transaction.py", line 199, in writeExceptionReport
    obj.writeExceptionReport(handler)
AttributeError: 'index' object has no attribute 'writeExceptionReport'


I think the 'index' object here is my redirecting servlet.  Am I doing 
something wrong here?  Can anyone suggest a workaround?  I tried to 
follow the code in Transaction.py and Application.py, but I got lost in 
a maze of little methods, all alike.
