PI43752: asynccontext.dispatch() dispatches to an incorrect uri

Download Description

PI43752 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Async request dispatcher might dispatch to the original request URI instead of the result of
HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI()

LOCAL FIX:
None

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
IBM WebSphere Application Server Full Profile version 8.5.5 and Liberty Profile version 8.5.5 users of async servlets.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The javax.servlet.AsyncContext.dispatch() method uses the wrong URI when dispatching.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

A call to javax.servlet.AsyncContext.dispatch() might dispatch to the original URI instead of the new dispatched URI which is the result of
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI().

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The WebContainer code was modified to dispatch to the correct URI when a new WebContainer custom property is set.

A new WebContainer custom property needs to be set to enable this behavior:
Name:
com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.setAsyncDispatchRequestURI

Values: true / false (default)


Please refer to the following technote for instructions on enabling WebContainer custom properties:
