When integrating a BPM task into a BPM Workflow UI the SOA Engine will call getTaskDisplayURL() and append “workflow” and then the name of the deployed UI application.
How does SOA generate this URL? And furthermore, how does it know whether or not to use HTTPS? The details are determined by the SOA Server’s HTTP Frontend value in the Weblogic Console, and they are set at deployment time.
If you don’t set any value in the cluster settings, Weblogic will default to whatever name it can resolve for its listening IP address. Usually this will be the hostname of the server, but it means that if you configure a “local” hostname in your operating system’s hosts file it can cause problems if your client does not have the same mapping of IP and Hostname in their local hosts file.
To ensure the value is correct, change the settings in your cluster as follows.
Admin Console -> Environment -> Clusters -> Configuration [HTTP Tab] -> Frontend Host
Enter the hostname and port you want the task UI to be shown on.
If your server does not use HTTPS then leave the HTTPS field blank.
After saving the changes you will need to bounce the whole cluster.
Finally - only once the cluster restart is completed - you need to re-deploy the UI Component to the SOA Domain where it will re-load the value for the TaskDisplayUrl.
