I want to connect from Tomcat to Apache HTTP Server. I am using Velocity.
I want to connect from one server to another +----------------+ (service) +----------------+ +----------------+ | Tomcat | -------> | Apache HTTP | -------> | Web Browser | +----------------+ +----------------+ +----------------+ Adding the client as a proxy is poor design. +----------------+ +----------------+ (new req)+----------------+ (resp) +----------------+ | Tomcat | -------> | Web Browser | -------> | Apache HTTP | ------->| Web Browser | +----------------+ +----------------+ +----------------+ +----------------+ Reconnecting remotely from the client, while useful for client driven RPC's is not a good way to solve this problem because it entails 2 negatives: 1) Roundtrip to the client (inefficient design, slow, extra HTTP req) 2) extra code used to make just the connection to the server This problem is to have a text become decorated. The text will be filtered/decorated before it is sent to the client. The decoration will be done by a PHP script. How can a velocity template call an external service, or at least call a JSP or tag in Tomcat? Thank you, Garrett Erron Austin wrote: > > Hmmm...
