CHAPTER 7 New Features in EAServer Versions 4.1.3, 4.1.2, 4.1.1, and 4.1

Client connection timeouts
Response timeout properties have been added to the Java CORBA client ORB
and EJB initial context. For applications that run in a cluster, these properties
allow you to specify a time limit to receive a server response before the
connection fails over to try another server in the cluster. Setting this property
ensures that failover happens without an unreasonable delay. The property
names are:
•
com.sybase.CORBA.ConnectionTimeout for CORBA Java clients
•
com.sybase.ejb.ConnectionTimeout for EJB clients
For more information, see these chapters in the EAServer Programmer’s
Guide:
• Chapter 8, “Creating Enterprise JavaBeans Clients”
• Chapter 12, “Creating CORBA Java Clients”
Web server redirector plug-in configuration
For information on configuring the Web server redirector plug-ins, see the
EAServer Installation Guide for your platform. Beginning in EAServer 4.1.2,
these configuration options are now available for the Apache, iPlanet, and
Netscape redirector plug-ins:
Binding to a single server You can bind a redirector to a specific server so
that if the server fails to respond to a request, the redirector returns
immediately. By default, a request fails over to another server when the initial
server does not respond. If you are running Web applications that are not
marked distributable, you must bind the redirector to a specific server. If the
redirector is bound to a server and the server fails to respond to a request, the
redirector returns the error status to the client.To bind the redirector to a server,
add this line to the redirector configuration file, where serverName is the name
of the server:
Connector.BindToServer /serverName
Debugging
To trace requests from connectors, set this directive in the
redirector configuration file:
Connector.SessionId <ConnectorSessionId>
