Comment From: mbhave
It turned out too be quite a big change for 1.5.4. We can revisit this in 2.0
Comment From: zmb3
It would be really nice to support context path in 1.5.X. Upgrading to 2.0 may be a challenge for larger organizations, especially those that haven't made the move to Java 8 yet. Are there any workarounds for the folks on 1.5 until this is revisited?
Comment From: mbhave
@zmb3 For 1.5.3, the workaround is to add a new context that can handle requests to "/cloudfoundryapplication" and forward them to the original context. Here's the example for tomcat.
@Bean
public TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainerFactory() {
return new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory() {
@Override
protected void prepareContext(Host host,
ServletContextInitializer[] initializers) {
super.prepareContext(host, initializers);
StandardContext child = new StandardContext();
child.addLifecycleListener(new Tomcat.FixContextListener());
child.setPath("/cloudfoundryapplication");
ServletContainerInitializer initializer = getServletContextInitializer(getContextPath());
child.addServletContainerInitializer(initializer, Collections.emptySet());
child.setCrossContext(true);
host.addChild(child);
}
};
}
private ServletContainerInitializer getServletContextInitializer(String contextPath) {
return (c, context) -> {
Servlet servlet = new GenericServlet() {
@Override
public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
ServletContext context = req.getServletContext().getContext(contextPath);
context.getRequestDispatcher("/cloudfoundryapplication").forward(req, res);
}
};
context.addServlet("cloudfoundry", servlet).addMapping("/*");
};
}
Comment From: sworisbreathing
As an alternative, is there a way to tell cloudfoundry the correct path for the /cloudfoundryapplication endpoint via some other means (i.e. in the manifest file?) I've had a peek through the https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack repo but couldn't find any references to this path in the code. It's bound to be specified/hard-coded somewhere in Cloudfoundry but I can't seem to find it.

@mbhave I tried your suggestion using Spring Boot 1.5.4 , but I am recieving a null pointer exception. Am i missing something?

Comment From: wilkinsona
@toplac Are you sure you're using Spring Boot 1.5.4? It uses Tomcat 8.5.15 by default but your stack trace indicates that you're using 8.5.11.
Comment From: toplac
@wilkinsona Thanks for the hint. There was an indeed an error in my pom.xml. I have fixed the dependency issue, but i still get the same error:

@toplac That NullPointerException is happening in your code that you haven't shared. If you need some help figuring out what's going on, please ask a question on Stack Overflow.
Comment From: toplac
@wilkinsona I have applied the suggestion from https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/9081#issuecomment-307987333
EDIT: We solved it using zuul in combination using "forward"
Here is an example:
routes:
cloudfoundryapplicationReRoute:
path: /cloudfoundryapplication/**
stripPrefix: false
url: "forward:${server.servlet-path:}"
Comment From: wilkinsona
We're going to document this as a known limitation.
Comment From: mcordeiro73
Is there a similar solution to this problem when using the newly introduced spring.webflux.base-path in a reactive application?
Comment From: philwebb
@mcordeiro73 can you open a new issue for that one please?
Comment From: mcordeiro73
@mcordeiro73 can you open a new issue for that one please?
New issue created for Reactive based applications #24991
Comment From: sathish593
is this issue resolved? iam using spring boot 2.6.1 and getting the same error am using undertow, can anyone share a workaround for it, thanks
Comment From: mbhave
@sathish593 This is documented as a known limitation. There would be some undertow-specific configuration similar to Tomcat. Can you open a new issue so that we can look into documenting it for Undertow and Jetty as well?
