CHAPTER 4 Installing and Configuring a Web Server Redirector Plug-In

Installation Guide 53

For example, if “neptune” is the name of your Web server, and

WEB_SERVER_HOME/conf/conn_config is the name and location of the

redirector configuration file that you create, edit conn_config to set the

Connector.WebApp directive:

Connector.WebApp /testapp = http://jaghost1:8080

Connector.WebApp /estore1, /estore2, /estore3 = http://neptune:8080

Connector.WebApp /* = http://foobar:8080, http://neptune:8080

Connector.WebApp examples=http://jaghost1:8080, http://jaghost1:3080,

http://jaghost2:8080

• In the first line, the “testapp” Web application maps to the EAServer

HTTP protocol listener

http://jaghost1:8080.

For example, if your Web server is accepting requests on the host machine

web_server on port 8020 and the client sends the request

http://web_server:8020/testapp/test.jsp, the redirector forwards

the request to

http://jaghost1:8080/testapp/test.jsp.

• In the second, line the /estore1, /estore2, and /estore3 Web applications

map to the EAServer HTTP protocol listener

http://neptune:8080.

For example, if your Web server is accepting requests on the host machine

web_server on port 8020 and the client sends the request

http://web_server:8020/estore1/sign_in.jsp, the redirector

forwards the request to

http:/neptune:8080/estore1/sign_in.jsp.

• In the third line, “/*” matches any request that is received by the connector,

provided the request did not match any of the other specifically configured

Web applications. However, you must still configure the Web server to tell

it which context paths should be serviced by this connector. For this

mapping, supply the following

LocationMatch directive in the httpd.conf

file:

SetHandler eas-handler

</LocationMatch>

• The last line of the example above provides load balancing. The

“examples” Web application is available at jaghost1:8080, jaghost1:3080,

and jaghost2:8080.

Single-line entries

You must make entries in the redirector configuration file on a single line. You

can combine EAServer hosts in one entry or create multiple entries; for

example:

Connector.WebApp /*=http://rainforest:8080,http://neptune:8080

Is the same as:
