JBoss with apache http server

[kborna]

Hello All,
Can some one guide me to a documentation or tell me how to configure Jboss AS with Apache http server?
Also which version of apache is best to use?

Thanks
Borna

You should try a more appropriate forum than JBoss Portal for this question ;)

It's not unusual to have a web server in front of an application server, therefore my thoughts about this topic:

Two ways are possible:

1. Integration as a reverse proxy (e.g. to localhost)
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#forwardreverse
2. Integration via AJP
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingMod_jk1.2WithJBoss

Some time ago I read about an AJP connection close problem where the web server has left the ajp connection open while the clients connection was disconnected...
Therefore we decided to use the reverse proxy integration.

If you intend to use an SSL enabled Apache, don't forget to configure the tomcat ssl http connector and use this connector, otherwise the portal will redirect to http after successful authentication of a user.

Hope this helps a bit.
