connector configuration

[maggu]

Hi,
While I understand that to configure port, thread connections etc for the web server in Jboss, one has to do it in jboss-web.deployer/server.xml (is this correct?)

Is there a way to configure the communication between webserver and Jboss (much alike the server.xml's connector) ?

Thanks

Could you be a little more specific, I do not know what you are asking.

In the first sentence, "web server" is two words and you state it is "in jboss". In the second sentence webserver is a single word and you are implying that it is something separate from jboss. What do you mean by webserver in the second sentence?

Hi Peter, sorry for being unclear as I am trying to figure my way here too.

Here is the breakdown:
I am looking at JRun and trying to find parallels or at least work arounds in JBoss. In JRun, two services are defined:
1) For the built in WebServer (webservice).
2) For communicating with a native web server like Apache or IIS etc (proxyservice).
Both are seperately configurable (ports, max threads etc)

While, jboss-web.deployer/server.xml lets us define the first service, is there a parallel way to define the second service?
Where would one define any configuration if connecting to a webs erver like Apache?
Thanks.

Hi
If I understand...

You have to do comunicate Apache * Jboss. to use the mod_jk is the connector used to connect Jboss-Tomcat jsp container with web servers such as Apache.
The port of default is 8009


In jboss the port defined in docs/examples/binding-manager.
But first of all youk check this file server.xm

Forgive me , i have forgot to ask you the version Jboss.

Thanks for your answers erasmomarciano. But I am not sure I am following everything. Could you please detail this a bit more since I am new to this.

Your understanding is correct. I am trying to communicate between JBoss and Apache or IIS etc.

My Jboss version is 4.2.2GA
Thanks.

For details on connecting Apache HTTPD or IIS to JBossAS, see:

HTTPD: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/UsingMod_proxyWithJBoss

IIS: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/UsingMod_jk1.2WithJBossAndIIS7

Thanks for the info guys. I also understand from the WIKI that mod_proxy allows to use https between Apache httpd and JBoss Web

The next question was is it possible to set configuration of the jBoss web server and Apache connection seperately/ independently (mat threads, time outs, ports etc)?

erasmomarciano did mention the port number, but I was looking to se if at all there is aplace where I can set an independent connector config much like the following:
