Running Google Refine under a Java server named context #576

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Java EE applications usually run under a context name. Trying to do so with 
Google Refine, I found it's currently impossible due the invocation to several 
resources point to the root ('/') hardcoded in the Javascript code.

Please, find attached a patch that, I guess, solves the issue, allowing to run 
Google Refine under any sub-path, keeping at the same time full compatibility 
for running it at the root one as usual.

Could this patch cause any issue on third-party extension?

I'm completely sure than this patch could be improved by taking the 
'butterfly.url' configuration, but I didn't find how to do it at its 
documentation .

Thanks for the patch.  We'll try to get it reviewed and applied.

Well, actually I'm not sure if this patch applies only under Java containers, 
or could be also useful under other deployment environments, such as inverse 
http proxies.

In case it could help, I also point a related issue detected in an extension:

Here also another patch for solving some non null-save operations.

Attached a clean version of the first patch (I was used some fake paths which 
may introduce issues applying it).

I'm thinking that all invocations to "../command/foo" actually must be to  
"command/foo"

Do you plan to take care of this issue someday?

Attached the last version of the patch including all changes working, that 
could be retrieved from the mercurial where we worked on: 
http://bitbucket.org/wikier/google-refine 

I don't want to convert such temporal repository in a fork of the project, but 
with latest changes it starts to be quite hard to keep it synchronized with 
upstream.

I'm a little bit concerned about testing, but I'll see if we can get this 
included in the next release.

Cool! I can support you on testing if needed.

OK, the patch has been applied in r2584. It was missing some /command 
references in the Freebase extension, clustering, etc.  Hopefully I caught them 
all.  The majority of the risk of things not working is when you're not running 
at the root, so normal operation should be unaffected.  Let us know if you find 
any references which were missed.  Although you mentioned changing "../command" 
to just "command" I still found "../command" references so those were changed 
before committing.

The patch also included a couple of unrelated things like the temporary 
directory fix.  For future reference, please keep each patch focused on a 
single issue.

The file main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml had some changes that I didn't include:
- I restored the DTD reference
- I didn't include the refine.data definition (but left it there commented out 
for now)
- I restored some of the Jetty parameters that had been commented out

Yes, some stuff I don really use it (some extensions, for instance) were not 
included on the original patch. Beside our changesets maybe included more stuff 
that strictly this concrete issue, sorry about that.

During the week I'd try to check that everything is working, both at the root 
context and a named one.
