Re: Question on context().request().uri()

Yes, that helps. I have found that when switching between HTTP and HTTPS (my page subclass takes responsibility for this in appendToResponse based on a page flag), I need to use context.componentActionURL() (as per Marker's book) to build my full redirect URL for a component action request and use context.request().uri() (as per Chuck's book) to build my full redirect URL for direct action requests.

I found if I used context.request().uri() for HTTPS redirect URLs for both type of requests, the component action request landed me back on the same page. And I don't want to use componentActionURL for direct action request redirects since that creates a session. So, I ended up using the request.requestHandlerKey() to determine how to construct the redirect URL and it works fine, but I needed to understand why.

Thanks again, Kieran

I have a question on understanding....

What is the significance/meaning/difference between

context.request().uri() and

This is the URL, requested by the browser, that caused the request which your code is currently processing. It came from the page that the user is currently viewing.



        context().componentActionURL()

This is the URL that will cause an action to be directed to the component currently being registered. Usually this is called in subcomponents / dynamic elements to generate the action URL to include in the response. This come from / will be in the page that the user will see once this request is returned to them.


When I log them in appendToResponse for a page generated from Component Action request, I get these values.....

371583 DEBUG [WorkerThread9] (PageWrapper, appendToResponse, 168) -
aContext.request().uri() = /cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wo/24OtRDbKizRKH6C2t7xjUM/ 4.0.9.1


4 = 5th request from this session
0.9.1 = the second part (1), of the 10th part (9) of the page (0).

0.9.1 indicates the exact node within the tree of elements which make up the page. Static HTML bits are elements within the tree too. This is how WO maps URLs to objects.

371585 DEBUG [WorkerThread9] (PageWrapper, appendToResponse, 169) -
aContext.componentActionURL() = /cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wo/24OtRDbKizRKH6C2t7xjUM/6.0


6 = 7th request from this session
0 = page

Does that help?
