Wrong base URL when deployed on a two level path.

[jdevora]

My company forces to deploy all the webapps on a second level URL, in this case, Pentaho should be deployed at https://mycompanysite/aplicaciones/pentaho

I renamed the war file to aplicaciones#pentaho and changed all the necessary configuration parameters and got it working with one exception.
Some of the URLs, when working with an ETL, get the last folder chopped

Notice that the pentaho part of the URL is missing.

I started to look at the javascript and it turns out that in the file pentaho-solutions/system/pentaho-cdf/js/cdf-bootstrap-script-includes.js
at line 5266 you can see

if(webAppPath==undefined){webAppPath="/"+pathArray[1];}

I changed it to

if(webAppPath==undefined){webAppPath="/"+pathArray[1]+"/"+pathArray[2];}

And everything is working fine.

I know that this is a corner case and the suggestion is just a "hack" to make it work, but the rest of the URLs are generated correctly; that means that the correct logic to guess the correct webAppPath should exist somewhere else in the code.

Cheers

PS: The Pentaho I installed is pentaho-server-ce-9.3.0.0-428.zip

Hi @jdevora, thanks for the report.

The statement you mention is from this code section: https://github.com/webdetails/cdf/blob/9.3/core-js/src/main/javascript/cdf-legacy/Dashboards.Startup.js#L30-L41.

The webAppPath will only not be defined if there is no defined CONTEXT_PATH variable. For this to happen, you would be using Pentaho's CDF code from outside Pentaho, perhaps? Typically, in such a case, you'd include the script http://yourserver.com/pentaho/plugin/pentaho-cdf/api/cdf-embed.js, which should properly setup the Pentaho JS Context for CDF.

I'm also assuming you have configured your Pentaho Server's context path according to: https://help.hitachivantara.com/Documentation/Pentaho/9.3/Setup/Customize_the_Pentaho_Server#Change_the_web_application_name_or_port.

If this does not solve the problem, please open a bug in https://jira.pentaho.com/projects/CDF and link it back here.
