How to using mod_jk, apache in front of JBoss AS 7

[damnh]

Hi,

1.I have deployed my application (myapp.war) to standalone of JBoss AS 7. How do I configure with Apache and mod_jk to run this application on my website with domain www.example.com?

2. Now this application with context root /myapp-web (for example: http://localhost:8080/myapp-web). How do I change this context root? I mean I want user only enters the URL www.example.com, not www.example.com/myapp-web.

Thanks

Hi,

add ajp connector in you web subsystem (example can be found in standalone-ha.xml)

<connector name="ajp" protocol="AJP/1.3" scheme="http" socket-binding="ajp"/>

and socket binding

<socket-binding name="ajp" port="8009"/>

context-root can be changed by puting jboss-web.xml inside of your WEB-INF/ where you can define context-root-

if you do not want to define additional virutal host then just set

configure default-host something like this:

<virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">

           <alias name="localhost"/>

           <alias name="www.example.com"/>

       </virtual-server>

if you want your own virtual host then you create it in standalone.xml and refrence it in jboss-web.xml of your applicationo (virutal-host element)

and it should work.

Thanks Tomaz for quick reply.

I have one more question, if I have multiple war in standalone, I will edit file standalone.xml as following:

     <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.0" default-virtual-server="default-host">

            <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" socket-binding="http" scheme="http"/>

            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">

                <alias name="localhost"/>

                <alias name="example.com"/>

            </virtual-server>

            <virtual-server name="myapp-host1" default-web-module="myapp1">

                <alias name="example1.com"/>

            </virtual-server>

            <virtual-server name="myapp-host2" default-web-module="myapp2">

                <alias name="example2.com"/>

            </virtual-server>

        </subsystem>

Is that right? Thanks.

Hi,

that would be also work (i seem to always forget about default-web-module thingy)

just add the ajp connector next to http-one and you got yourself ajp that you can connect to from apache.

If you rename the myapp.war to ROOT.war, then you wil lnot need to specific the app name in the URL (this doesnt need the jboss-web.xml).

I have a question on this with a twist.  I have the ajp working correctly when usign http.  But if I enable the secutity-constraint tag in web.xml and https in the standalone.xml, I am able to get the WSDL off the server, but when I use soapUI to execute a service, soapUI times out.  any idea how I can fix it?

https://my.examplehttps://my.example.com:29990/etmservice/service/oas?wsdl.com:29990/etmservice/service/oas?wsdl     <-- gives WSDl back with port proper.

****** WSDL snippet ******

- <wsdl:service name="MyService">

- <wsdl:port binding="tns:MyServiceSoapBinding" name="OasServicePort">

<soap:address location=https://my.example.com:19991/myservice/service/oasis />

</wsdl:port>

</wsdl:service>

I forgot to add tha this was for Web services. and if I use http instead of https, it works perfectly.

Hi,

webservices handle this a bit different, can you create new post about this so we can have seperate discustion that helps when people later search for problems.
