Re: proxying orion with IIS or iPlanet Web Server

[Lachezar Dobrev]

Frankly?    Apache is better connected to Tomcat... Faster, and there is no need for those... URL rewrites and so on... Also... I can have the users authenticated at the apache side. I get the username and security things from the apache directly.    Quite handy you know... Orion is not so good at handling Apache requests. and if you plan to use prive IPs (like having Apache run on the firewall machine...) than you'll be very sorry... Like I was, because there is a SIGNIFICANT delay while Apache servers the requests, I'm not sure why. I guess it's something to do with the DNS resolving... However... Having Win2k as a firewall/router/Apache server is not the best solution... Believe me. If it was to me... I'll get a SlackWare to do the server job... But it's not up to me... :(      Tomcat uses some different protocol to serve requests to Apache (APJ). Well... You can still use Tomcat as HTTP request server, but... Better not :) same goes to Orion.      May the shade of the tree strengthen you.    Sincerely yours: Lachezar     ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrik Andersson To: Orion-Interest Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 10:32 AM Subject: SV: proxying orion with IIS or iPlanet Web Server Just for the sake of asking,   why do you have tomcat serving jsp/servlets and orion serving ejbs if they're both running on the same machine? For me, that sounds like asking for extra maintenance trouble. And another thing, from having one "single point of failure" you now have 3. If either one if these three applications decide to call it a day your whole application dies and that goes for having two machines running different software aswell. Why not use two or three machines all running orion and having them split the workload by clustering them?   regards, Patrik -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: Lachezar Dobrev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Skickat: den 30 maj 2001 08:50 Till: Orion-Interest �mne: Re: proxying orion with IIS or iPlanet Web Server    Hya...    Got a reply for you :).    I use Apache as a front-end server. I use Orion to store my EJBs, and I use Jakarta-Tomcat to deploy servlets and JSPs. Just put the Tomcat and Orion on one and the same machine, start tomcat with a classpath, that includes the jars of the Orion server. Put a jndi.properties file somewhere (probably the web-inf/classes directory) and specify the jndi properties as for a remote application:     java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory   java.naming.provider.url=ormi://127.0.0.1/<your application>   java.naming.security.principal=<admin user>   java.naming.security.credentials=<admin pass>      Than you can safely read the Apache-Tomcat connectivity issues.    I have used this with IAS instead of orion also. It worked.    Apache and Tomcat are "cheaper" than other web servers :)      May the shade of the tree strengthen you.    Lachezar     ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Diederich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Orion-Interest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 12:46 AM Subject: RE: proxying orion with IIS or iPlanet Web Server > I was afraid of that -- ISA is a minimum of $1,500.  An expense for the free > webserver.  I'll look into, iWS, but since iPlanet sells a proxy server, > too, I bet their webserver won't do it be default, either.   Ah, well.  > > Does this mean folks using Orion on NT/Win2k put Orion in their DMZ? > > -- > Andrew > > -----Original Message----- > From: Juan Lorandi (Chile) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 13:40 > To: Orion-Interest > Subject: RE: proxying orion with IIS or iPlanet Web Server > > > Dig into ISA server, It's the M$ reversed proxy solution.
