PK72724: URL mapping not working when using dedicated hostname for Virtua l Portal.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• URL mapping was detected as a friendly URL when using dedicated
  hostname for Virtual Portal. Here the subcontext of the virtual
  portal was missing internally to disolve the correct url.
  

Local fix

• If you have vp.de as hostname and the context is set to mynewvp
  than you can access url mappings with the following URL:
  http://vp.de/wps/myportal/mynewvp/<your url mapping>
  
  The fix will make sure that the context "mynewvp" can be left
  out.
  

Problem summary

• Updating a predeployed Web Module using XMLAccess destroys the
  messaging capabilities of cloned portlets. The portlet actions
  of those portlets are deleted.
  

Problem conclusion

• Ensure that the portlet info object is found for all portlet
  clones when updating.
  
  NOTE: You need to modify the web.xml of the wps.ear file
  manually by doing the following:
  
  1) Move the filter tag for the "VirtualPortal Filter" between
  the "State Cleanup" and the "URL Analyzer"
     The order of filters should be:
      State Cleanup
      VirtualPortal Filter
      URL Analyzer
      Friendly Selection
      :
  
  2) Move the two filter-mapping tags for "State Cleanup" (for
  /portal/* and /myportal/*) up to be the first filter-mapping
  after the filter "Locale Filter" and before the "VirtualPortal
  Filter" filter-mapping
  
  3) Move the two filter-mapping tags for "URL Analyzer" down to
  appear after the "VirtualPortal Filter" filter-mappings and
  before the "Friendly Selection" filter-mappings
  
  4) Save the file and continue the install instructions below.
