404 error if APIs not in root

[Raffaele Castagno]

I have this strange behavior:

if I install my API in the root of my railo webapp, it works, both as rest as trough the dashboard

http://localhost:8888/index.cfm/barcode

but, if I try to move it in a subfolder, it no longer works as REST

http://localhost:8888/api/index.cfm/barcode 

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /api/index.cfm/barcode. Reason:

    Not Found

but works just right trough the dashboad.

The reason is that the dashboard uses a different URL

http://localhost:8888/api/index.cfm?endpoint=%2Fbarcode&_=1369690785195

Is this a known issue? I've been unable to find a solution.

I'll answer myself:

I had to create a web.xml in WEB-INF

and add this maping

  <servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>

      <!-- -->

      <url-pattern>/api/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>

it did the trick.

Bye

Glad you figured it out. Since this gets asked so often, I've created a wiki page for it:

By the way, I've discovered just today that there's a more global place to make the modification, that is

{railo_home}/etc/webdefault.xml

again, search for

<servlet-mapping></servlet-mapping>

and add 

<url-pattern>/api/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>

This way, every context created in that particular instance of Railo will inherit this config.
