[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3380) Cannot create Demo requests for XACML

Cannot create Demo requests for XACML
-------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3380
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3380
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 2.0.x
            Reporter: Christian Mueller
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

I need to give users the possibility to study and test some demo requests regarding XACML.
These requests are http POST requests having a xml encoded XACML request in the http body.

The logic is in calls DemoRequestsPage starting at line 293. For post requests, the xml filename is splitted by an
underline character, the first string is converted to lowercase and used as the url. This works well with
WCS_*.xml ,WMS_*.xml and WCS_*.xml files.

This does not work for my situation, where the category is XACML and the url is security/geoxacml.

Solutions
1) a quick fix with an if statement for the XACML problem
2) creating an additional XML mapping file for service to url mappings

Anyway, this improvement is a "must be" because this is the only chance to do debug (in combination with XACML requests logged in the log files) problems with the XACML repository at the moment
