The welcome-content returns 503

Details

    Description

      Undertow in 7.1.0.DR9 doesn't serve welcome-content after the ports 8080 and 9990 are open. It rather waits for full server boot and returns status "503 Service Unavailable" in the meantime.

      The welcome page was returned in DR8 and earlier versions. We use this approach in Docker image tests - to see if the EAP container starts correctly.

      The change is probably caused by EAP7-636 - server start in suspended mode. If the 503 is the correct behavior, we should at least give users information "booting, retry later". Current behavior doesn't allow to find what's wrong with the server. (Is it an internal error? Is it just temporary? Should be the request retried later?).

      We could use some HTTP header to report server status during 503 ("booting/shutting down/..."). If it's booting we could also add HTTP header Retry-After with some reasonable/configurable default.

          • Blocker - To be worked above all other priorities. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is very high, has no workaround, or the effort for the change is comparatively low. Issues that may be very publicly visible and could generate significant media attention may also drive a higher priority.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
