go to the Management Console User's Guide, Using the Deployment
Descriptor Editor, Web Deploy Paths section.
For new applications that you have deployed to the Borland web container,
you need to do the following to make them available through the Apache web
server. Use the UriMapFile.properties file to map HTTP URI strings to web cluster
names configured in the WebClusters.properties file (see “Adding new clusters”
on page 47).
■
In the UriMapFile.properties file, type:
<uri-mapping> = <clustername>
where <uri-mapping> is a standard URI string or a wild-card string, and
<clustername> is the cluster name as it appears in the ClusterList entry in the
WebClusters.properties file.
For example:
/examples = cluster1
/examples/* = cluster1
/petstore/index.jsp = cluster2
/petstore/servlet/* = cluster2
In this example:
■
Any URI that starts with /examples will be forwarded to a web container
running in the "cluster1" web cluster.
■
URIs matching either /petstore/index.jsp or starting with /petstore/servlet
will be routed to "cluster2".
Note With the URI mappings, the wild-card "*" is only valid in the last term of the
URI and may represent the follow cases:
■
the whole term (and all inferior references) as in /examples/*.
■
the filename part of a file specification as in /examples/*.jsp.
Note Modifications you make to the UriMapFile.properties file automatically take
effect on the next request. You do not need to restart your server(s).
If the WebCluster.properties or UriMapFile.properties is altered, then it is
automatically loaded by the IIOP connector. This means that the adding and
removing of web applications and the altering of cluster configurations may be
done so without starting up or shutting down the Apache web server(s) or
Borland web container(s).
Large data transfer
This section details the BES options available to you for handling large data
transfers between a client and the Borland web container with Apache 2.0 in
between. The data to be transferred may be either:
■
static content obtained from a file, or
■
dynamically generated content
