There is a bug in project woodstock when used in HTTPS with IE7 or newer. Since project woodstock has ended and all new development effort will be in ICEfaces it seems this “bug” will not be fixed.

There are some solutions to change de webui-jsf.jar library to hardcode the URL, since this is not the best solution, because you have to create a patch for every project (even create a patch if you move the project from test to production envoirement).

So i’ve looked in the code (shipped with Netbeans) and made a little fix. I determine the server URL from the HttpServletContext.

My fix:

Edited com.sun.webui.jsf.util.JavaScriptUtilities

The following method is little bit changed to determine the jsFile String

   private static void renderJavaScriptInclude(UIComponent component,
            ResponseWriter writer, String file) throws  IOException

        if (file == null) {
            return;
        }
        String baseURL = "";

        try
        {
            HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext
                 .getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();

            StringBuffer url = req.getRequestURL();

            baseURL = url.substring(0, url.indexOf("/",10));
            // HTTPS fix over LB
            if (baseURL.indexOf(":443") >0)
            {
                baseURL = baseURL.replaceFirst("http://", "https://").replaceFirst(":443", "");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            baseURL = "";
        }

        String jsFile = baseURL + getTheme().getPathToJSFile(file);

You can also download the patched jar file and put it in your netbeans directory/visualweb2/modules/ext/
