Hi All,

The direct action URL in our application running in WebObjects 5.3.3 in production looks like this:

/app/WebObjects/PatientPortionPricer.woa/52301/wa/MPVAjaxAction/MPVContractPicker?wosid=...

However, In the 5.4.3 version it looks like this:

http://web1-u/app/WebObjects/RKMPPP.woa/1/wa/MPVAjaxAction/MPVContractPicker?wosid=...

The code responsible for generating that URL is this:

   public String directActionURL() {
   return context().directActionURLForActionNamed("MPVAjaxAction/MPVContractPicker", null);
   }

Notice the http://web1-u prefix in the direct action URL generated by the 5.4.3 version of our app.

When checking the HTTP request headers I noticed a header server_name being set to web1-u. So I suspect that's where WO gets that server name for the complete URLs. Not sure who is putting web1-u in there but it should really be www.mpv.com. Another question is why would WO 5.4.3 be generating complete URLs?

Anyways, this is causing an Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI) error in the browser.

We working around this problem by subclassing the directActionURLForActionNamed() method but I would like to know why WO is generating complete URLs and why is it not using www.mpv.com as the server name?

Thanks,

Ricardo
