JMeter includes an AJP13 client. I would expect that to be overkill
though.
I also do not know of any fully featured Java based reverse proxy
servlet. In your case, you might be able to write something reasonable
on top of httpclient for the HTTP protocol (using http to the backend
and not AJP13).
It's not trivial, because e.g. you can't simply forward all HTTP
headers (some of them indicate prtocol features, and if you forward
them you need to configure your backend connection to be in compliance
with what the headers indicate - example: connection keep alive
handling). Nevertheless, if you understand the cases for which you
actually need the forwarding good enough and they are limited in
variation, it might be best to write the servlet from scratch using
httpclient for the protocol part.
Tim:
Thanks for the reply. The proxy implementation you recommended didn't
seem to work (it supplied redirects instead of actually proxying). The
documentation was somewhat ill maintained, which kind of compounded the
problem. Unfortunately the project seems to be abandoned, so I'm going
to have to move on to something else. It's probably quicker to write
something up as a servlet (as Rainer recommended) than dig through
source to try to figure it out. I do appreciate the link though.
Rainer:
Thanks for the suggestion. I think that might be what I end up
with....*sigh*.
