Jasperserver behind iptables

[acquisti]

Hi all, I have installed jasperserver on my server and it runs on port 8080 and on port 80 through mod_jk.

Now I have configured iptables with following rules:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

iptables -P INPUT DROP

Now through the  link:

http://myserverip:8080/jasperserver/login.html

jasperserver doesn't work, I obtain the error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'commonProperties': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanExpressionException: Expression parsing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelEvaluationException: EL1021E:(pos 24): A problem occurred whilst attempting to access the property 'contextUser': 'Unable to access property 'contextUser' through getter'

 

but if i set the rule:

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

it works again.

Thank to anyone can help me.

Regards

Have you tried opening up port 8009? Tomcat uses this for the AJP protocol.

 

hope this helps

Beans error usually occurs when JasperReports Server can't access the repository database. Where is your repository database? If you've setup your jdbc to access it via ip address, you'll need to open the port jdbc is using.

Thanks for the answer, my repository is in localhost.

I have solved setting ip url 127.0.0.1 in context.xml and setting the following url in iptables:

iptables -A INPUT -d 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT
