[TAPESTRY-1627] Start page redirect requests can return an empty response.

• Type: Bug

Description

A Start page redirect request will produce an empty response if the request URL was root, e.g: http://localhost:8080/myapp/
It will succeed only if the URL maps to the Start page, eg: http://localhost:8080/myapp/start

It looks like just a couple of lines need to be (changed/added) in org.apache.tapestry.internal.services.RootPathDispatcher.dispatch()
[Marked by -/+ below.]

public boolean dispatch(Request request, final Response response) throws IOException
{
// Only match the root path

if (!request.getPath().equals("/")) return false;

if (_componentClassResolver.isPageName(_startPageName))

{ - _handler.handle(_startPageName, _emptyContext); + ActionResponseGenerator responseGenerator = _handler.handle(pageName, context); + if (responseGenerator != null) responseGenerator.sendClientResponse(response); return true; }

return false;
}

Cheers,
Nick.
