Mount static resource to "/" blocks mongo mounts

[austinrappa78]

When upgrading to v6 the static resource path now blocks any mongo-mounts within the same path.

Expected Behavior

With RESTHeart running:

1. The website www.blahblahblah.com serves up static content from static-resources-mounts
2. The website www.blahblahblah.com/api serves the MongoDB collections

Current Behavior

The website www.blahblahblah.com serves up static content from static-resources-mounts The website www.blahblahblah.com/api returns 404 errors

Context

Upgrading from v3 to v6 and this behavior has changed.

Environment

Assume the folder structure:

• \www
  • index.html
• restheart.jar

In the restheart.yml configuration file:

mongo-mounts:
    - what: "*"
      where: /api

static-resources-mounts:
    - what: /www
      where: /
      welcome-file: index.html
      secured: false
      embedded: false

Steps to Reproduce

Make changes to restheart.yml. Use curl or postman.

The way services bind to URIs has changed from version 3.

You need to set the uri option of the service parameter as follows:

# this allows mapping urls to mongodb resources, but the root URI is set by the plugins-args.mongo.uri parameter
mongo-mounts:
  - what: "*"
    where: /

static-resources-mounts:
    - what: /www
      where: /
      welcome-file: index.html
      secured: false
      embedded: false

# this binds the MongoService to the root URI /api
plugins-args:
  mongo:
    uri: /api
