6. SERVLETEXEC/AS: APPLICATION SERVER (UNIX/LINUX)
Important
If you chose not to allow the installer to make these modifications, you must make them
manually.
The following directive was added to httpd.conf with the other LoadModule
directives (near the top of the file):
LoadModule servletexec_module modules/mod_servletexec.so
If the httpd.conf file contains a ClearModuleList directive followed by
AddModule directives, then the following directive was added for ServletExec/AS:
AddModule mod_servletexec.c
These directives cause Apache to load the ServletExec/AS web server adapter.
The following line was added to the end of the
httpd.conf file:
ServletExecAdapterConfigFile
"/usr/local/NewAtlanta/ServletExecAS/config/webadapter.properties”
This directive defines the location of the webadapter.properties file used by
ServletExec/AS.
See Section 6.6 of the ServletExec Installation guide for more information on the
webadpater.properties.
6.6 Configuring webadapter.properties
All ServletExec/AS instances can be configured using the webadapter.properties file.
The file is always put in the config directory of your ServletExec installation by default,
but it can be put in alternate locations. See the information regarding your web server for
specifics.
The webadapter.properties file is shared across all versions of ServletExec/AS. This
section will describe some of the properties that can be controlled from this file.
Properties are always set up in the form of:
servletexec.<instance name>.<property>
Properties in this file are used to modify pooling between the web server adapter and
ServletExec, find ServletExec instances that are set up to handle the incoming request,
and forward the request to instances set up to handle specific ServletExec applications.
6.6.1.1 Connection Pooling Between the Web Server Adapter and ServletExec
The installer automatically enables connection pooling between the web server adapter
and ServletExec, using default settings. The purpose of this connection pooling is to
improve performance through better resource management.
You can change the default settings by modifying the configuration file as explained
below. The two parameters that provide the connection pooling are:
pool max idle
(sets maximum number of idle connections that can be in the pool… default setting is 10)
and
pool increment. (sets the number of idle connections to be added to the pool
