Apache - Weblogic bridge - tricky question...

We have WLS 5.1 sp4 on Redhat 6.1 and Apache 1.3.12 on the same box.
I also have Mass virtual hosting setup under Apache. Before, the Apache-WLS
bridge was available, I used RewriteRule to proxy the requests:
Apache:
<VirtualHost 10.10.10.1:80>
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias *.test123.com www.test.com
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/vhosts/%1.1/%1.2/%1
DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp
<Files *.jsp*>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.test.com:7001/$1 [P]
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
WLS:
weblogic.properties: weblogic.httpd.documentRoot=public_html/
I also had a link in the public_html directory called www->/www
So, when a person connect to http://test1.test.com/shoppingcart.jsp, they
are forwarded to WLS with the path
/public_html/www/vhosts/test1/shoppingcart.jsp.
However, if I want to use the Apache-WLS bridge:
<VirtualHost 10.10.10.1:80>
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias *.test.com www.test.com
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/vhosts/%1
DirectoryIndex index.html index.jsp
<Files *.jsp*>
WeblogicHost localhost
WebLogicPort 7001
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
If a person connects to http://test1.test.com/shoppingcart.jsp, the path
forwarded to WLS is /shoppingcart.jsp and it looks for the file in the
public_html directory and it fails.
I cannot use the "PathPrepend" directive as the path varies with the URL.
Any ideas????
Thanks...

You need mod_rewrite which is enabled for Apache on redhat by default.

  • Overrding default Apache-Weblogic bridge error message

    We are running WLS 5.1 sp5 with Apache as Webserver. I want to know how
    could I display more user freindly error messages when
    weblogic is down and apache is working. Currently we get the default
    Weblogic-Apache down page.
    I tried putting
    ErrorPage http://www.mydomain.com/error.html
    in apache conf file. Now I do not get the default message, but now it can
    not find the above url.
    I am able to this url directly in the browser. Please help ?

    There is a mod_wl_ssl.so in sp4 (i believe). mod_ssl extends Apaches API
    and thereby breaks the WebLogic bridge. For raven installations you need
    mod_wl_ssl_rave.so because raven extends the API even further.

  • Apache-Weblogic Bridge does not work?

    I've gone thru' the documentation regarding setting up of apache-weblogic bridge, but still it does not work. Does anyboday have any more details regarding this...EnvironmentOS - Solars 5.7Weblogic - 5.1 SP 8Apache 1.3.12

    I've given up and had to go back to running "Double NAT" which also reports as a "problem" within the AEBS, but I just "ignore" it so the light will always be green.
    It still ***** though, as "Double NAT" is also a reason for "Back to my Mac" not working properly, but how the ** am I supposed to avoid Double NAT when the wireless will not work in bridged mode?!

  • Aborting uploads through Apache/Weblogic bridge

    Hi,
    I have an application to which people should be able to upload files,
    however only of a certain size. So if I detect that the file is too
    large (based on Content-Length), I return an errorpage and don't read
    the data from the browser. This is allowed according to rfc 1867 (which,
    though it is obsoleted, is the one the HTTP1.1 rfc refers to on the
    matter - also the obsoleting rfc doesn't say anything on the matter) and
    all browsers seems to handle this.
    However, once I go through the Apache/Weblogic bridge the behaviour
    changes. When the browser sends the POST request to the bridge, the
    bridge relays it on to the Weblogic server and my code. I immediately
    determine that the file is too large, and returns the previously
    mentioned errorpage. But, the bridge doesn't stop recieving the file
    from the browser until it has got the entire file and then it returns a
    standard bridge POST timeout error (and the timeout has definately not
    been reached).
    Any ideas?

  • Apache-weblogic bridge problems with virtual hosting

    Hi,
    Can we set apache-weblogic bridge where apache webserver is configured
    as virtual hosts and each Virtual Host is mapped to a WebLogic server
    instance running on separate port ?
    Please provide doc or reference or your comments if you have solved this
    problem
    Thanks
    Shriniwas

    The above comments notwithstanding, there's one outstanding line in your post that seems crucial:
    Also if I type on my browser the name of another secondary (or virtual) domain name in the form http://domain2.com it brings the website hosted under the primary domain which is domain1.com. In case I type http://www.domain2.com than it works as it should and displays the website hosted under this domain name.
    As far as Apache is concerned, 'domain2.com' and 'www.domain2.com' are completely separate entities. They have to be otherwise if all domain2.com traffic went to this site you'd never be able to host different sites within the domain (e.g. blogs.domain2.com, wiki.domain2.com, blah.domain2.com, etc.). In other words, there is no automatic relationship between a hostname and sub-records of that hostname.
    So what's happening here is Apache is seeing a request for 'domain2.com' which does not match any of its configured virtual hosts, so it handles the request via the default site. If you request www.domain2.com this matches your virtual host configuration so Apache serves the alternate content.
    The fix is simple - trivial, even - you just need to tell Apache all the hostnames that match this site - in this case if you've configured the site's primary address as 'www.domain2.com' and you want it to also respond to requests to 'domain2.com' then add 'domain2.com' to the list of Server Aliases in Server Admin.

    as worded, that sounds like a network setup problem on the apache server
    side.
    however, it seems that you want a server-connection-timeout error toreturn
    an specific error page via the plug-in. This all depends on how theplugin
    works. If it is how I think it works, there needs to be an INI
    setting
    to sepcify a page. Why? Because the plug-in effectively has control of
    the response. It either needs a way hand control back to the web serveror
    needs to have error pages of its own.

  • Weblogic Bridge "failed and will reconnect later"

    The enterprise architecture is as follows:
    1 Physical machine where I have 2 VMs on this machine, and each VM I have 1 domain, 1 Cluster and 1 managed server, and the second VM I have the replicated what I have in first VM.
    In first domain I have the OSB, in the second domain I have SOA.
    What I need ? Send information of queues (topics) of First Domain (OSB) to second domain(SOA).
    At first the only thing I did was:
    In the first domain I created OSB JMS Server, JMS Module, Connection Factory and Queue Topic.
    In the second domain SOA I replied the same thing but with different names.
    Then I created the bridge with configuration default between the first domain and the second domain, the bridge and when active it generates me a message Weblogic Bridge "failed and will reconnect later"
    I did a test on my local machine windows where I created two domains, and the same procedures you did above, but the point was funcinou been activated now for the enterprise environment I'm not managing to make it work, you could tell me what is wrong . in both cases restarted the weblogic server as the machine itself the question that ran on my machine and machine company no.

  • Apache-WebLogic Bridhge Failures

    Hi all, We are also having a similar setup, except that we are using WebLogic Server 5.1. We had this problem when the traffic in our production site is high. We thought we had solved the problem when we applied Service Pack 5. But after behaving for sometime if the data upload goes beyond say 5 MB the Bridge fails, but surprisingly the actual data gets uploaded. This happens when the traffic is slightly high on the site. We have set the parameter ConnectionTimeoutSecs in weblogic.conf which is called by the httpd.conf to 900. Still we are having this bridge failure problem once in a while. We are not sure what to do, is there anybody who has faced this problem and managed to solve it ? if so please SOS.Cheers,Aejaz

  • Multiple Apache-Weblogic plug-in configurations for the same host

              Hi BEA,
              I have a situation where I have more than one weblogic server/cluster both using
              the same Apache to proxy. Reading the Apache plug-in configuration I gather that
              below should work. In Apache (httpd.conf):
              <Location /path1>
              SetHandler weblogic-handler
              WeblogicHost app1
              WeblogicPort 7001
              </Location>
              <Location /path2>
              SetHandler weblogic-handler
              WeblogicHost app2
              WeblogicPort 7001
              </Location>
              In this case the later Location of the two works fine and the other seems like
              it is just not there. (If the two are switched the other works fine...) The thing
              is that, if possible, I would like to avoid splitting the two locations onto two
              different VirtualHosts (which works).
              Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this and still avoid the use of multiple
              VirtualHost-definitions?
              Is it due to a limitation in Apache module architecture that the configuration
              above does not work or is it a design choice in the plug-in?
              //GG

    Hi--
              I am using the Apache-Weblogic(WLS 5.1) bridge on Solaris platform and for

              I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Which service pack are you using? There was a bug in 510 which was causing only
              one
              cookie to be set. This was fixed in SP3 (ISSUE 10680: If setting multiple
              cookies, only
              the first one gets set). So the first one may happen to be the WebLogicSession
              cookie.
              So if this is the case please upgrade to SP3. SP4 will be out any time from
              now.
