[WICKET-3881] ServletWebRequest#getServletPath must handle bogus servlet path for filter on Tomcat

• Type: Bug
• Status: Resolved
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 1.4.17
• Component/s: wicket
• Environment: Tomcat 5,6 and 7

Description

Tomcat reports a bogus servletPath for a filter iff

• welcome files are listed in web application of Tomcat's defaults
• a welcome file exists (e.g. index.html)
• a request comes in with an empty path

Example:
"/" results in servletPath "/index.html"

See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50161 for a discussion.

Due to the bogus servletPath redirects are failing. For a test you can run wicket-examples with SignApplication mapped to root:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SignInApplication</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

The attached quickstart shows a possible workaround, see attached patch.
