I have a Spring/JSF application that redirects to open reports (based on LogiInfo reporting tool) in a new window. A servlet filter has been applied to append/modify certain parameters before it is launched using the resp.sendRedirect(reportURL);
On my test environments this works perfectly and all the reports launch as expected. However on the client environment, a subset of the reports just do not launch and end up showing the 403 Forbidden
error on the new window. After some debugging I realized that the URL is also not modified as the doFilter()
itself does not get invoked for these subset of reports (in fact the Tomcat does not even receive the 'GET' request for these URLs).
(UPDATE) The major difference between the two is :
It is a strange issue and I'm not sure where to look as there is absolutely no difference in .xhtml
pages that invoke these reports or their javascript. Any idea as to why this selective behaviour is in play?
It turned out to be a firewall related issue and nothing to do with either the Apache or Tomcat servers. It was blocking the URLs from some of the reports since they have single quotes in them.
