Problem
After CAS integration in FineReport 11.0, remote design is unavailable because its requests are intercepted by CAS.
Solution
To download the new interceptor and the XML file, click CAS Remote Design.zip.
Defining a RemoteFilter
1. Another RemoteFilter needs to be defined to filter the requests of remote design (request path: /remote/design) at the beginning. Source code of RemoteFilter is defined as follows:
package com.fr;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
public class RemoteFilter implements Filter {
public void destroy() {
}
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)servletRequest;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)servletResponse;
req.getRequestDispatcher(req.getServletPath() + req.getPathInfo()).forward(req, res);
}
}
2. Place the compiled class file in the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webroot/WEB-INF/classes/com/fr path.
Modifying the Web.xml File
Add an interceptor to the Web.xml file in the %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\webroot\WEB-INF path or replace the Web.xml file with .xml file provided in the ZIP file. In the Web.xml file, add this new filter to the header of all filters accordingly through the following code.
<filter>
<filter-name>RemoteFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.fr.RemoteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>RemoteFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/decision/remote/design</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/decision/remote/design/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Restarting the Project
Restart the report project.
Notes
If you still cannot connect to the project remotely after the setting, check whether your username has been assigned with the remote design permission. For details, see Remote Design.
