5. SERVLETEXEC APPLICATION SERVER (WINDOWS)

ServletExec 4.1 Installation Guide 59

To update the ServletExecApplications directive in httpd.conf

• Use the following form:

ServletExecApplications <instance-name> /URL-context1 /URL-context2

SetHandler servlet-exec

</Location>

SetHandler servlet-exec

</Location>

5.5.5.4 Prefix Aliases

For each prefix alias that is configured using the ServletExec Admin UI, the

ServletExecAliases directive must be updated, and a Location directive must be

added to httpd.conf in the following format:

ServletExecAliases <instance-name> /prefix-alias

SetHandler servlet-exec

</Location>

If you allowed the ServletExec/AS installer to automatically update httpd.conf,

ServletExec/AS is configured to handle the /servlet prefix alias by default.

5.5.5.5 Suffix Aliases

There are two methods for configuring suffix aliases with Apache. The most common

method is illustrated below. For each suffix alias that is configured using the ServletExec

Admin UI, the ServletExecAliases directive must be updated, and an AddHandler

directive must be added to httpd.conf with the following format:

ServletExecAliases <instance-name> <suffix-aliases>

AddHandler servlet-exec <suffix-alias>

You should use this method if the URL Rewriting option of the Session Tracking feature

is disabled, which it is by default. This method of configuring suffix aliases provides

better performance than the alternative method.

See the ServletExec User Guide for more information on Session Tracking and URL

Rewriting.

URL Rewriting Alternative

If you enabled the URL Rewriting option of the Session Tracking feature, you must use

an alternative method of configuring suffix aliases. For this method, you use a Location

directive instead of the AddHandler directive. For each suffix alias that is configured

using the ServletExec Admin UI, add a

Location directive to httpd.conf with the

following format:

SetHandler servlet-exec

</Location>

In addition, for each subdirectory level beneath the web server document root directory,

you must add an additional Location directive to

httpd.conf. For example, assume the
