Verified with showcase app on tomcat7, and component-showcase on tomcat6.

Testing steps (Tomcat7):

• download/deploy j2ep-1.0.war onto tomcat7, with data.xml modified:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<server className="net.sf.j2ep.servers.BaseServer"
domainName="localhost:8080" path="/showcase"
isRewriting="false">
<rule className="net.sf.j2ep.rules.DirectoryRule"
directory="/bla"
/>
</server>
</config>

• add to showcase's web.xml:
  <context-param>
  <param-name>org.icefaces.publicContextPath</param-name>
  <param-value> /j2ep-1.0/bla</param-value>
  </context-param>

• add sessionCookiePath="/" attribute to Context tag in $tomcat/conf/context.xml:

• use URL to access the start page directly: http://localhost:8080/j2ep-1.0/bla/showcase.jsf

For tomcat6 (component-showcase app), an additional step is required:

• add emptySessionPath="true" on the Connector tag in $tomcat/conf/server.xml file

Note: data.xml content in j2ep-1.0 app must be updated for component-showcase.

Please try to access the start page directly, specifically to avoid the redirection (not relevant to fix for the testing). So accessing the app using http://localhost:8080/bla/showcase.jsf should do the trick.

Added docs here: http://www.icesoft.org/wiki/display/ICE/publicContextPath

Add docs for context parameter.

Introduced view handler that translates resource, action, bookmark and redirect paths into paths that have their context path changed so that reverse proxies do not need URL rewrite the served content.
