[NIFI-6306] CatchAllFilter blocks access to any separate context paths (i.e. /nifi1/nifi)

• Type: Bug

Description

Found in debug logs:

 
o.a.n.w.filter.SanitizeContextPathFilter - SanitizeContextPathFilter received provided whitelisted context paths from NiFi properties: /nifi1
o.a.n.w.filter.CatchAllFilter - CatchAllFilter  [index.jsp] received provided whitelisted context paths from NiFi properties: 
 
CatchAllFilter extends SanitizeContextPathFilter but CatchAllFilter's init(FilterConfig) never calls super.init(FilterConfig), the end result blocks mapping a nifi node to any subpath (i.e. /nifi1, /nifi2).
 
 
Per small discussion in users mailing list, another user failed to get this working and went the vhost route.
