Jason, As Jetty (and tomcat4) is a full featured HTTP/1.1 server, there is little need to put apache up front.
If you feel a technical needs - ask us for what you think is missing from Jetty and we will try to support it. If you feel an administration/managment/defacto standards need, try to educate :-) If the education fails and you really do need to put apache outfront, it is a trivial thing to do. Again as Jetty fully supports HTTP/1.1, there is no need to waste cycled using mod_webapp to translate the protocol to that used by tomcat3. Instead, use Apaches transparent proxy mechanism to delegate the HTTP requests to Jetty running within JBoss. I think it is something like the following in your apache config: ProxyPass /mywebapp/ http://jbosshost:8080/mywebapp/ The feedback I have had on this is that it is rather efficient and only slightly reduces the throughput you can get with direct access to the server within JBoss. cheers PS. Jetty's doco site is in transit at the moment, so the page about this is not linked in (nor exactly upto date). But you can still see it at: http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/doc/JettyWithApache.html --- Julian Gosnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jason, > > As far as i know - YES > > You should post on [EMAIL PROTECTED] where i am sure Greg will > be > able to point you to the relevant doc and summarise various pros and cons. > > Jetty supports virtual hosts, but this has not been integrated with JBoss > as > AFAIK, the Deployer does not yet support this (since J2EE doesn't???). > > Ask Greg re URL rewriting. > > Please let the list know of any other 'advanced features' that you feel > Jetty > (or JBoss/J2EE) is lacking, so they can be considered. > > I'm crossposting you to jetty-discuss, and jboss-user, as the points this > thread raises may be of value to other participants. > > > Jules > > > > Jason Dillon wrote: > > > Hey, do you know if any integration support between jetty and apache? > Like > > tomcat does with mod_webapp? > > > > I think it would be a good idea if it was easy to integrate jboss with > > apache as easily as possible.
