5. SERVLETEXEC APPLICATION SERVER (UNIX)

ServletExec 4.1 Installation Guide 78

The following directive causes Apache to load the ServletExec/AS web server adapter

and was added to httpd.conf with the other LoadModule directives (near the top of

the file):

LoadModule servletexec_module libexec/mod_servletexec.so

The following directives define the default prefix and suffix aliases used by

ServletExec/AS and were added to the end of the httpd.conf file:

ServletExecInstances <instance-name> 127.0.0.1:8888

ServletExecAliases <instance-name> /servlet .tmpl .jsp

SetHandler servlet-exec

</Location>

AddHandler servlet-exec jsp

See the ServletExec User Guide for a general discussion of servlet aliases, as well as

Section 6.5.3.3 and Section 6.5.3.5 for further discussion of configuring prefix and suffix

aliases with Apache.

Connection Pooling Between the Web Server Adapter and ServletExec

This feature is not currently available for ServletExec/AS on Apache Http Server (UNIX).

6.5.3.3 Web Application URL Context

For each web application URL context configured using the ServletExec Admin UI, you

must update the ServletExecApplications directive in the httpd.conf file.

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>

6.5.3.4 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.
