Virtual directory mapping in weblogic platform 7.0

Hi. I noticed in WebLogic Platform 7.0 there is a entry for
WEB-INF/weblogic.xml that defines a virtual directory. Example:
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 7.0//EN"
"http://www.bea.com/servers/wls700/dtd/weblogic700-web-jar.dtd">
<weblogic-web-app>
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:\webapps\context\x\y</local-path>
<url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
</weblogic-web-app>
In this case I'm assuming that a request of the form
http:/host:7001/context/images/z.gif would map to the physical file
C:\webapps\context\x\y\z.gif. However I cannot get this to work. Is
my assumption about it's use incorrect? Is the syntax of
<local-path/> or <url-pattern/> wrong? Is there something you have to
do to get WebLogic to recognize the weblogin.xml file?
This is urgent. Please help.
Thanks.

I see. In my case, x == images, so if I reverse my directory
structure I could still get this to work for me. For instance:
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:\webapps\context\y</local-path>
<url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
/images/z.gif would map to C:\webapps\context\y\images\z.gif.
I'll have to weigh changing our directory structure vs. keeping the
servlet we have that rewrites the URL.
Thanks for your help.

From the developer
Virtual directories just replace the doc root. The doc root in your case
is C:\webapps\context\x\y. The request uri is /images/Z.gif. So the whole
thing resolves to C:\webapps\context\x\y\images\Z.gif. Which is where the
image should be located.
We have cleared up the docs. Sorry for any inconvenience.

  • Several paths   with the virtual-directory-mapping    in weblogic.xml

    Hello! I don´t know if this is well posted here. Sorry, and my english is aswful :(.
    I´m trying to put several paths for jsp files in an application, similar to how the extendend document root works in websphere.
    How can I get this on weblogic? With this lines I only managed to get the first but the second url-pattern doesn´t work.
    <weblogic-web-app>
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>/path1/</local-path>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>/path2</local-path>
    <url-pattern>/jsp/*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    </weblogic-web-app>
    My intention is make that the app could access to jsp´s files in path1 and in path2. Is this possible on weblogic?
    Thanks in advance

  • Virtual directory mapping in weblogic 7.0

    I'm trying to define a virtual mapping in my web application deployed in Weblogic

    I've defined in my weblogic.xml
    <virtual-directory-mapping>

    We've tried many combinations, but all failed. What are we doing wrong?

    I'm doing the same as you, and it does not work. I'm using weblogic 7.0 sp2 in
    a Windows 2000 Proffesional. Maybe it's a problem with weblogic/OS version?

  • Virtual-directory-mapping + MS-Word MS-Excel

    Hi,
    I have created the following virtual-directory-mapping in my weblogic.xml
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>c:/zooi/temp</local-path>
    <url-pattern>/excel/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>*.xls</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    Secondly I added the following mime-mapping to my web.xml
    <mime-mapping>
    <extension>xls</extension>
    <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
    I tried to access an excel file, from my browser using the URL http://localhost:7001/MyWebApp/excel/Sample.xls
    Although it finds the file, it doesn't launch my Excel application in the browser. Instead it displays the file like you would do a "type" operation on it from the command line.
    If I copy the excel file into my webapp and then try to do the same (note that its not in the virtual-directory now) it nicely does start my excel application in the browser.
    I have good reasons for wanting to use a virtual directory so I hope someone can help me finding the reason why it doesn't work in that case.
    FYI, it doesn't work either with Word, but it DOES work when trying it with a PDF.

  • Using deployment plan to change virtual directory mapping

    Hi all,
    Have anyone tried this before?
    I have a deployment plan to add virtual directory to my weblogic descriptors as follow:
    Inside <variable-definitions> tag:
    <variable>
          <name>LocalPath</name>
          <value>C:/</value>
        </variable>
        <variable>
          <name>VirtualPath</name>
          <value>/Temp/*</value>
        </variable> Then in to add the virtual directory to weblogic.xml:
    <module-descriptor external="false">
          <root-element>weblogic-web-app</root-element>
          <uri>WEB-INF/weblogic.xml</uri>
          <variable-assignment>
             <name>LocalPath</name>
             <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/local-path</xpath>

             <operation>add</operation>
          </variable-assignment>
        </module-descriptor>But I have this error:

    I also tried using the xpath for url-pattern as followed:
    <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/[local-path="C:/"]/url-pattern</xpath>
    But I have the same error. The <url-patter> element is not added correctly to the virtual directory mapping tag.
    It is supposed to work. Anyone has done this before ? or is this a bug of deployment plan.
    Thank you very much.

    K.

    Hi Chuck,
    You can use FormBased Authentication to protect the access to the virtual-directory like " *http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=2034*
    *Example:*
    Inside your Virtual Directory Create a "pdf" directory and then place all your PDF files inside this directory
    Then add the following kinf og entry in your "web.xml" file <url-pattern>pdf/*</url-pattern> restrict the access to pdf/* contents like below:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    I have the url-pattern assigned already. Can you help me look at it.
    And one more question: if I want to define multiple virtual directory mapping, how can it be done? as the link is only virtual-directory-mapping/ it needs something to distinguish between the different virtual directory mapping right?

  • virtual-directory-mapping fails when loading JSPs in 8.1

    I'm using portal 8.1 sp3 and trying to get my JSP includes to include JSPs from a virtual directory.
              I can load HTML files from the working directory perfectly:
              <jsp:include page="/myprods/myProd1.html" />
              But whenever I try to load JSPs it fails:

              Is this a known (bug) and expected behavior?

              And I have C:\wls-domains\portal_servers\testcontent\myprods which contains both myProd1.html and myProd1.jsp
              Note I cannot put my JSP's pre-compiled class in the applications classpath, I'm expecting the jsp:include to resolve all this itself.
              The error I get when trying to include the JSP is as follows:
              Error opening /SamplePortlet/index2.jsp.
              The source of this error is javax.servlet.ServletException: [HTTP:101249][ServletContext(id=3477358,name=myProject,context-path=/myProject)]: Servlet class jsp_servlet._myprods.__myprod1 for servlet /myprods/myProd1.jsp could not be loaded because the requested class was not found in the classpath C:\wls-domains\portal_servers\user_projects\applications\myApplication\.workshop\output\myProject\WEB-INF\classes;C:\wls-domains\portal_servers\user_projects\applications\myApplication\myProject\WEB-INF\classes;

    ThanksHi all,
    After read careful about Virtual directory mapping, I saw that can't resolve my problem.
    And I change the way to get closer my target by thinking about a solution for showing image base on string in the "src" from tag <img> request to server.
    When client request image from the server, I'll catch the string request, process it and get the real link of the image base on it, reading content of the image from source and response the client. And I found the way for my solution in here
    http://www.coderanch.com/how-to/java/ImageServletI hope it'll help you too
    Good luck for all!

  • Virtual directory mapping: how to use variable in local-path element

    Hi all
    We are using a virtual-directory-mapping declaration in the deployment descriptor
    for our web application to load jsp'a and other files from the file system.
    This declaration looks like this:
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>c:/views/jsp</local-path>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    Here is my question:
    Is there a possibility to use a variable in the local-path element? Something
    like:
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>%PATH_TO_JSP%</local-path>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    If yes, how does it look like? My example above didn't work.
    If no, is there another way to do that?
    Thanks in advance

  • Virtual directory mapping

    Hi!
              I am trying to achieve virtual directory mapping but with no luck. I have a request like
              "GET /app1/images/mypic.gif"
              and I would like the server to look into
              C:/pics (under /pics I do have /app1/images/mypic.gif)
              so I tried both (plus some more)
              <virtual-directory-mapping>
                   <local-path>C:/pics</local-path>
                   <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
              </virtual-directory-mapping>
              and
              <virtual-directory-mapping>
                   <local-path>C:/pics</local-path>
                   <url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern>
              </virtual-directory-mapping>
              but it doesn't work, why?
              Thanks,

    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Limit extensions other than one specified in virtual-directory-mapping

    Hi,
    I have a virtual directory mapping
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>D:/folder</local-path>
    <url-pattern>/movies/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>*.mov</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    However, I can still access the files with other extensions, i.e., avi, jar, txt.... Is there anything wrong with my mapping or it is supposed to be so? if it is the later, what is the point of declaring the *.mov pattern?
    Thank you very much

    hi,
    Actually i deleted all the files in work folder and deleted the context path in server.xml file which i had given yesterday.
    Already in web.xml file inside the folder..ie., in "c:\myPath\myRootDir\WEB-INF\web.xml" file i gave welcome file name like as given below..
    <welcome-file-list >
         <welcome-file >index.html</welcome-file >
    </welcome-file-list >
    i created this welcome file entry even before creating context path in server.xml file..
    Then i created again the context path in server.xml file like this
    <Context path="/myVirtualApp"
    docBase="C:/myPath/myRootDir"
         crossContext="true"
         debug="0"
         reloadable="true"
         trusted="false">
    </Context>
    i stopped and restarted the server....
    Now itz working fine......Thanx a lot Sudha for your help.......
    regards,

  • Virtual directory path from weblogic.xml file in servlet

    HI All,
    I want to get the virtual directory path in servlet, which is specified in the weblogic.xml file
    Regards,
    Abhi

    Sure, put it in your WEB-INF directory. That should be in your servlet's classpath when it runs. UseInputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config.xml");to read it.

  • Creation of Virtual Directory in weblogic.xml (OBIEE11 Weblogic)

    We are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.4, we want to create a Virtual directory mapping in weblogic server so that we can place our static image files to access from the application URL.
    To do this activity, we have performed following steps -
    1) Navigated to C:\OBIEE11G\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\jee
    2) Open analytics.ear file
    3) Existing code in weblogic.xml is: (if weblogic.xml is not present we need to create the file with below code)
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'US-ASCII'?>
    <weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app">
    <session-descriptor>
    <cookie-path>/analytics</cookie-path>
    </session-descriptor>
    </weblogic-web-app>
    4) We have added virtual-directory-mapping tag; After adding virtual directory mapping tag, the code in weblogic.xml is
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'US-ASCII'?>
    <weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app">
    <session-descriptor>
    <cookie-path>/analytics</cookie-path>
    </session-descriptor>
    <virtual-directory-mapping>
    <local-path>D:/virtualdirectory</local-path>
    <url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>*.jpeg</url-pattern>
    </virtual-directory-mapping>
    </weblogic-web-app>
    5) We have created a folder virtualdirectory under D: drive. And then created a folder images within folder virtualdirectory.
    6) Then we have placed an image (lets say) test.jpeg within image folder.
    7) Restarted all BI services,
    8) Now when we try to access URL http://localhost:9704/analytics/images/test.gif. Now we are able to see the image, it’s working perfectly fine.
    If we paste the above URL in browser it will automatically displays the image without any authentication. So our requirement is, on pasting the URL in browser first it should redirect to OBIEE homepage and when authentication is done then it should display the image.
    Request you to please advise with your inputs.

    Why did you modify analytics.ear ?
    Should'nt you make changes here : Middleware_Home>\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1
    \analyticsRes\WEB_INF\web.xml
    Follow this note : OBIEE 11g: How To Access Custom Files Through URL By Creating Virtual Directory In Weblogic Server? [ID 1408240.1]
    And you should be able to deploy that virtual directory and access it after authentication.
