Apache with JServ or Tomcat?

What�s your preferences in relation with JSP web server: Apache with JServ module (or another want you considerer better) or Jakarta-tomcat?
I have used both, but I don�t know exactly which one I should use in my new job.
Thank you everybody and good luck!

JServ, while fine in its time, is now outdated and will not be updated. If you want to use any features added to the JSP or Servlet API's in recent years, you need to use Tomcat.

Integrating Apache with Tomcat?

Anyone have a guide to integrating Apache with Tomcat using mod_jk?
I followed some guides online, but they all seem really dated with some obscure references. This seems like it should be on the top of the list....

Hi Alan.
I've discovered the exact same problem.... 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1
You've obviously not had any replys here, but di you end up working it out on your own?

Apache with Tomcat cluster

Hi, I integrated Apache with Tomcat Cluster on Windows 2000. I instalated mod_jk2.dll, created workers2.properties and configurated server.xml in Tomcat instances. If I try to reach my .jsp file, e.g. http://localhost/root/main.jsp, I get follow message from Tomcat: source root/main.jsp is not available. What�s wrong? Can anybody help me? Apache version: 2.0.47, Tomcat: 1.4.27

Well, the first order of business is to determine exactly where main.jsp is located. If it is at <CATALINA_HOME>/webapps/main.jsp, then it should be at http://localhost:8080/main.jsp. Bypass Apache and verify that you can get to the Tomcat specific pages first.
Basically, we're trying to determine a) the correct URL and b) whether the problem is with Tomcat itself, or with the connections between Apache and Tomcat.
Essentially, we can't tell you where your configuration is incorrect until you tell us what your configuration is. :)

Adv. of using apache with tomcat??

can anyone pl tell me the advantages of using Apache with Tomcat in comarison to other web servers?
Thanks

The biggest advantages are that they are open source, so you don't have to pay a huge licence fee, and they are very stable. I don't know how they compare for speed - I know Apache is lightning when it comes to serving flat pages, there are no benchmarks yet for the new Tomcat because it was only released last monday. You can run them on linux or another unix variant, so they are more likely to be secure (windows servers are horrendously open to attack) and stable.

The tab is bad with apache web server and tomcat

the tab not run with apache web server + tomcat.
It is very bad..

Fijate que solo he estado experimentando con JSC, no he tenido oportunidad de poner nada en producci�n usando la combinaci�n Apache Web Server y Tomcat JSP container y no cuento en �ste momento con �sta configuraci�n para probar.
Nosotros (en donde trabajo) usamos IBM Web Server (basado en Apache Web Server 2), IBM Websphere 6 y las aplicaciones JSF en producci�n est�n hechas con Rational Web Developer.
Ahora he estado muy ocupado con un proyecto urgente, si tengo alg�n tiempo libre la semana entrante tratar� de probar tu combinaci�n (no te prometo nada) pero para ello necesito que me digas las versiones que est�s usando de Apache Web Server y de Tomcat, como est�s enlazando entre ambos con un m�dulo o con ProxyPass y mejor si me mandas el httpd.conf.
Saludos.

Discussion on Apache with Apaphe Tomcat

I am doing some research on the pros and cons of
either using Apache with Apaphe Tomcat on a live production server
or
Apaphe Tomcat on its own on a live server.
Anyone knows any urls to some documentation on the subject
Con (Apache with Apaphe Tomcat)
I personally feel that Apaphe Tomcat on its own is a better sollution
because the OS will use more memory to run both application (Apache with Apaphe Tomcat) simultanuesly.

I've heard on many occasions that Apache can serve static content (html) faster than Tomcat. So if you are not concerned with Java the you'd be better off with just Apache. Tomcats main focus is to serve dynamic Java content, it just so happens that it can serve static content as well.
here is one link,

Jserv vs Tomcat

We are testing iAS9 and it cames wit apache Jserv. Now apache is recomending to use tomcat instead jserv, must we chage to tomcat or continue with jserv ?
What about oracle jvm ?
Thanks

Before I would remove Apache JSERV rrom any Oracle IAS version and replace it with TOMCAT or any othe rproduct. I would review the licensing documentation that came with the product.
As i inderstand it, you will be invalidating your Oracle support agreement for that install.
This means any issues you run into in your "modified IAS configuration" will have to be reproduced - by you - in the "IAS product's delivered modules -- as provided by Oracle" -- before Oracle Support can assist you on any bugs that need to be filed with Oracle Development.

UNSUPPORTED : The way it works Apache with OC4J via AJPV13 with mod_jk

RDBMS Version: 8.1.7.x
Operating System and Version: SUSE Linux 7.2 / Win NT/2k/XP
Product (i.e., OAS, IAS, etc): 9ias 1.0.2.2 OC4J 9.0.2.0.0
Product Version:
JDK Version: 1.3.1
Error number:
UNSUPPORTED : The way it works Apache with OC4J via AJPV13 with mod_jk
We dont want to use the lame and old mod_jserv so we want to use oc4j but in connection with Apache.
This is like mod_oc4j in the Oracle 9ias Release 2
This guide is for advanced users !
Step-by-Step :
1) get Tomcat 3.3 for linux or nt with Apache module mod_jk
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.3/bin/
2) add mod_jk module to httpd.conf (9ias) and comment all mod_jserv, dms, oproc, ojsp ....
LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
Include mod_jk.conf
3) edit mod_jk.conf
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13 JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
<Location "/WEB-INF/"> AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
3) edit workers.properties
workers.tomcat_home=/opt/oracle/ias/oc4j/j2ee/home
workers.java_home=/usr/java
worker.list=ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009 worker.ajp13.host=localhost worker.ajp13.type=ajp13
4) edit http-web-site.xml (oc4j)
<web-site host="localhost" port="8009" protocol="ajp13" display-name="Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE HTTP Web Site">
5) start oc4j
java -verbose -jar oc4j.jar
6) start apache (look in error_log)
apachectl startssl
7) try to request a jsp page or servlet ..
http://localhost:7777/test.jsp
8) good luck it works fine .. !!

Thanks for the tip Mathias, it's always good to see people trying out experimental things with the products.
We're providing a new module (mod_oc4j) with our Oracle9iAS Release2 product to do this directly from the Oracle HTTP Server (Apache). We've re-written bits and pieces of the module to improve it's performance. Likewise, we've also integrated mod_oc4j with our HA story so it will be notified when new OC4J instances are brought online or if existing ones go down, enabling it to actively route requests around the available OC4J instances.
Thanks again!

Integrating Web server (eg Apache) with the application server

I am thinking a project in which I use more static HTML files than JSPs. One way is to use an Apache server to display those HTML files (it should be faster), and deploy the JSPs into the J2EE server; another way is just simple to change the web container�s port to 80 (of the PE 8), and wrap all the files into a war file and deploy it into the application server.
So can someone advise my which way is better? And if I use the first one, I�d like to know if it is the same way to integrate Apache with Tomcat.
Thank you very much!

In the past there has been a belief that the Apache web server serves static content faster than tomcat. Site managers would configure apache to deliver static content and integrate a web container to handle the dynamic content. I believe this argument is losing steam as tomcat gets better. I guess the only way you will know for sure is to deploy your application in PE 8.0 and then in an apache/web container configuration and do some benchmarking. I have no such benchmark data to compare and I base my comments on what I have read in newsgroups over the past months. Personally, I would opt for the app server only setup just to ease configuration. Others may have a different opinion.

Apache and Jserv issues - AppsLogin and AppsLocalLogin not working

Hi,
I am trying to understand the Apache and Jserv issues
Home page - http://11i-tst-02.cisco.com:38901 - working fine
This confirms that Apache core module is working fine. Does this confirm about the pls module also ?
Apps local login - http://11i-tst-02.cisco.com:38901/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp - throwing Java Exception

Is it related to SSO ? Because error mentions about SSOManager
But why does AppsLocalLogin need to go thru SSO ?
Doesn it mean Jserv issues ? I am able to see same message logged in jvm logs ?
Restarting Apache doesnt help
Servlet login - http://11i-tst-02.cisco.com:38901/oa_servlets/AppsLogin - throws Internal Server Erorr

Congratulations, ApacheJServ 1.1 is working!
OAM works - http://11i-tst-02.cisco.com:38901/servlets/weboam/oam/oamLogin - Navigating to SSO page for authentication

Connection test works - http://11i-tst-02.cisco.com:38901/servlets/oracle.apps.icx.common.ConnectionTest
So, my question is why AppsLogin and AppsLocalLogin are not working - if servlets / AOL / FND / OAM links are working
Is there issue with Jserv ?
Can someone please explain the significance of the above tests
And which tests need to pass for AppsLogin and AppsLocalLogin to work
Thanks

Since all the tests work fine as you stated above, I suggest you do the following:
- Rerun Autoconfig on all tiers
- rm -rf $OA_HTML/_pages
- Bounce Apache

Getting apache to talk to Tomcat

I am trying to get apache to talk to tomcat and when I am compiling the mod_jk.so (Jakarta connectors kit) i am getting a few errors when i run make. I was hoping you can point me in the right direction to get the mod_jk.so binaries so that i can get apache to serve my JSP's. I already tried to uncomment the line in the httpd.conf to include tomcat and renamed the server.xml file. So at this point I am a little stuck.
Here are the make errors:
# make

If i am going about this in the wrong way and this is already configured, can you tell me what you did to get it to work.
Thanks,
Brian

Here is the solution:
Use this fix to correct the build problems:
1.http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=21555&messageID=67120
2. make sure you have $JAVA_HOME in your .profile (or other login profile file)
3. re-compile apache,
4. install tomcat fresh with the axps switch
5. compile and install the tomcat connectors
6. modify your httpd.conf file, add the LoadModule lines right before section 2: (here they are)
LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so
AddModule mod_jk.c
7. right before section 3 of the httpd.conf add the JMount switches (this will serv JSP's from the website root dir)
JkWorkersFile "/usr/local/apache/conf/workers.properties"
JkLogFile "logs/mod_jk.log"
JkLogLevel error
JkMount /*.jsp default
JkMount /examples/* default
8. modify the server.xml file at the bottom (between the </Host> and </Engine> tag)below is the example :
</Host>
<Host name="www.yourdomain.com" debug="0"
appBase="/usr/local/apache/htdocs" >
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="0"/>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
9. after you test it add in any custom directory configs you want. make sure that you edit the server.xml and httpd.conf to chage the documentroot of each.
10. done

Apache web server/jakarta tomcat

Hey guys!
here's the fact, i installed jakarta-tomcat and apache web server, but i don't know how to integrate them, i mean, I just want to have one http server with the functionality to use servlets. Do I need only jakarta tomcat to have this?, please help me.

Help DSCC agent not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat?!

Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution on system running Solaris10 11/08.
Cannot get DSCC to work with either AppServer or Tomcat.
Both AppServer & Tomcat deploy DSEE WAR file and I can look at things that I have manually registered via command line. Cacao agent is running it is just not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat so it cannot commit any actions such as starting and stopping directory instances or creating new directories instances within the web app.
Is this a bug that occurs only when doing a new install using the Zip Distribution?
The Error message I get regardless if Appserver or Tomcat is:
"Could not contact the DSCC agent on <server>. Use the command cacaoadm to check that the DSCC agent is installed and running on port 11169."
I changed to port 11169 because it had a conflict on default port 11162.
Output from cacaoadm & dsccsetup commands is follows:

I started over and installed Glassfish and everything just worked. After the fact I think the real problem was related to the server.policy file. I think this was the problem because using the default appserver 8.2 that comes with Solaris has a different path and I got this same error when tried using tomcat also. When installing glassfish it uses this default path as in the server.policy example as follows so it just worked.
Add the following lines in the {install-dir}/domains/domain1/config/server.policy file
// Permissions for Directory Service Control Center
grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/DSCC/-"
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Hope this helps some as I was really stuck and confused at the time and just started playing with the stuff. Growing pains. Thanks to those that replied.
Thanks!

WLS with the HttpClusterServlet or Apache with proxy plug-in?

I'm newbie with WebLogic Server cluster.
Please tell me which is better for load balancing for WLS cluster? WLS with the HttpClusterServlet or Apache HTTP Server Plug-In? And which is recommended for production environment?
Many thanks.

Apache with plug-in, as this is easier configurable.
For the HttpClusterServlet all the configuration goes into web.xml which has to be packaged as a war file and deployed to WebLogic.
When any change is needed you have to edit the web.xml file, package it again and redeploy it.
An example of the Apache plug-in set-up can be found here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7795 (the load balancing section)
Or if you want to use the Oracle Web-Tier (which includes a precompiled Apache HTTP server): http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7819 (the load balancer section)

How can I test servelt with application at Tomcat?

how can I test servelt with application at Tomcat?

Assuming u have coded the servlet already there are certain things u need to do for exceuting the servlet in Tomcat,
1) Assuming u r putting the servlet inside the directory named 'Mywebapp' under webapps directory, u need to create directory named Web-inf under Mywebapp and classes under Web-inf.
Copy web.xml file from any of the webapps (like the example webapp) into mywebapp.
Copy any one of the sample servlet specification in the web.xml and customise for ur servelt.
then save the web.xml file and start the Tomcat.Am assuming u have included the mywebapp entry in the server.xml file.
then invoke the servlet like http://machinename:8080/mywebapp/servletname
