Multiple weblogic instances using IIS to proxy the requests

I have a need to run multiple weblogic instances using IIS as the web
server.
Does anyone know if this is possible. I am aware and have been able to run
multiple weblogic servers as an nt service,
but in those cases weblogic was being called and IIS was being bypassed.
Now the user base wishes to use IIS to proxy the requests.
I have been able to set IIS to forward using the .jhtml and .jsp file
extensions to the iisproxy.dll, but have not been able to forward these
requests to multiple weblogic instances. When the request is made it is
only looking in the first instance of weblogic for the request.
Is it possible to use weblogic and IIS with two or more weblogic instances,
without weblogic acting as a webserver.
I dont believe this is possible but I need to find out if this really is the
case.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ed

You need run each IIS web server instance in its own memory space. This can
be set through the Management Console for IIS.

We tried to do this & Weblogic doesn't support this config. We opened upa
support call with them regarding this, but there is a problem with the way
that IIS & NT proxies .JSP pages to the weblogic servers. It's very
unstable this way & I wouldn't recommend this config.
We switched to Apache with virtual hosts to do this & it works fine. It's
probably not the answer you want to hear, but it works very well.
If you have any questions, just ask away.

We are using IIS4 with weblogic 4.5.1 sp11,
I thought I read someplace, their was a problem between wls 4.5.1 sp7
and
wls 5.1 where it didnt look in the folder where the dll was.
I will give it a try on monday.

We tried to do the same thing.
We copied iisproxy.dll and iisproxy.ini to server1 and let IIS use this.dll
instance for proxying .jsp etc.
We copied the iisproxy.dll and iisproxy.ini to server 2, renamed
iisproxy.dll to iisproxy2.dll (to make sure another instance was used)
and
let the second iis site use iisproxy2.dll, but that didn't worked. (It
doesn't read the iisproxy.ini file located in the same directory as the.dll
file, altough in the manual it says it checks this first.) Now, I thinkit's
possosible to use several iisproxy.dll's as long as you rename it so
each
get it's own instance, the only problem is that each .dll doesn't readthe
correct iisproxy.ini file. (BEA, is this for SP7?)

How Can I Use Multiple Weblogic Instances in a Single OS

Hello Everyone,
Actually I have to install Some different applications. Few of them need weblogic 10.3.6 and others need 10.3.4. The OS am using is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.
Now I am able to install 2 separate(One of 10.3.4 and 10.3.6) instances with two different users,In two different directories.
I have installed the weblogic 10.3.6 version with a user webadmin and installed node manager with port 5556. This is working fine.
The main problem here is :
In the second instance (10.3.4 ) installed with a a different user and gave the port number to NodeManager as 1600 and its not getting started. Its throwing error and also after some errors in the terminal am able to see that its reverting to port number 5556 only.
What might be the issue?
I have to install 2 different versions of weblogic in a single Server. But am failing with NodeManager. What Can I do to have multiple weblogic instances with multiple versions in a single server ?
Can anyone suggest a resolution for this please ?
Thanks in advance.

Java client connecting to multiple weblogic instances

We have a standalone java client JMS application that needs to connect to multiple
Weblogic instances running in different domains.
The client works fine when we obtain an initial context to the multiple instances
without specifying a security principle and password. As soon as we add in this
information, we get problems: The initial context is still successfully retrieved
for each of the weblogic instances, but we cannot send JMS messages to destinations
on one of the Weblogic instances due to a security exception which states that
there is an 'Invalid Principal'.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You should first establish a trust relationship between your Weblogic
servers:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/secmanage/domain.html#1171534
It is very poorly documented since this is a change in the behavior with
previous versions and should have been in the Release Notes but instead
is inside the normal documentation.

Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation

Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation?
Thanks

Hi Kim,
According to your description, you have multiple TFS instances using one Reporting Services instance. Right?
For installing TFS, to use a named instance with Team Foundation Server, you must install SQL Server by using a named instance, or move or restore Team Foundation Server data to a named instance, or create a team project collection on a named instance. Please
refer to the link below:
Work with SQL Server Named Instances

Can multiple Instances use Message Gateway on the same box ?

I have message gateway propagating messages to MQ Series Queues on instance DV1. I'd like to set up similar propagation on instance DV2 on the same host. Is that possible ? Do I need different tnsnames/listener settings ?
I tried to start the agent on both instances using dbms_mgwadm.startup. On querying mgw_gateway, DV1 shows the agent's running and reachable. However, DV2 shows that the agent's starting and unreachable. There are no corresponding messages in mgw.log.

answered my own q. I had to put the instance name in the db_connect_info call.

OSB example calling multiple business services using a single proxy service???

Hi,
I have three business services created using http urls i.e.
1. LoginBS
2. GetListBS
3. LogoutBS
My requirement is to get a list of names from GetListBS using a single proxy service and to call GetListBS I have to first call LoginBS then GetListBS i.e. after authentication and then finally logout.
Kindly help with a detailed example for this and I am new to OSB.
Thanks,
Vik

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response. We figured that it is possible to call multiple services with Split Join. However, we ran into the issue you described. We had a blocking call and had to wait until each of the services returned a response.
However, we needed a Async model for our design and felt that this might not be a right fit.
We are now looking at implementing the publish option with QoS configured as this fits our usecase better. Thanks for the help again.

Can I use Apache to Proxy the Admin Console?

Greetings.
We are deploying a new Weblogic environment into a network that we treat like a DMZ. Basically we treat all of our Production networks like DMZs, let's not debate the intelligence or stupidity of this please. We are running on RHEL 5.3 x86_64, with Apache 2.2, with Weblogic 10.3.1 32bit.
One security flaw we are trying to correct is not having secure access to the Weblogic Admin Console. In this secure environment we intended to use the Firewall, Apache Allow/Deny, and SSL to ensure the console is kept secure.
In our less controlled networks we use an Apache SSL Virtual Host to proxy the Admin Console but it seems that none of our weblogic admins have ever noticed that inside the browser, half the links are not SSL, and include the Admin Console's port number. Just a snippet of the Admin Console's HTML for the banner across the top shows a how some links are / relative and others are fully qualified with protocol, hostname, port and path.
In order for my Apache Proxy to work properly the Console must be generating / relative links, is there some way to configure the server's root for the Admin Console or something?
As of now, unless a better idea surfaces, my options seem to be:
1. Spending my holiday weekend writing a Perl CGI to be the proxy and content filter all of these bad URLs out.
2. Using ssh to tunnel to the Admin Console's port.
3. Using mod_proxy_html to do the same thing as #1.
Here are options not on the Table:
1. Firewall rules to allow access to the Admin Console port.
2. Bridging networks with a spare NIC in the server.
3. Running the Admin Console as Root and binding to port 443.
Overall, I can't believe I'm the only one to ever think of or try to do such a thing as proxy the Admin Console, but I can not seem to find any blogs, forum posts, or documentation to suggest a good way to accomplish this.
Thanks for your time and attention.

How to start weblogic instance using wlserv ant task

Hi,
Iam using weblogic 8.1
Iam trying to write build script which starts remote weblogic instance and does deploy using wldeploy and restarts the instance.
First iam trying with starting weblogic.
==============================
<wlserver
               dir="${server.project.root.dir}"
               domainName="${weblogic.domain.name}"
               serverName="${weblogic.server.name}"
               host="10.106.90.50"
               port="8001"
               generateConfig="true"
               productionModeEnabled="false"
               weblogicHome="${weblogic.home}/weblogic81"
          username="weblogic"
               password="password"
               args = "-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
               action="start">
               <classpath refid="weblogic.classpath"/>
          </wlserver>
==============================
Iam getting an issue here , it starts the weblogic but automatically it stops the weblogic , without any exception.
as per their documentation
"When you use the wlserver task in an Ant script, the task does not return control until the specified server is available and listening for connections. If you start up a server instance using wlserver, the server process automatically terminates after the Ant VM terminates. If you only connect to a currently-running server using the wlserver task, the server process keeps running after Ant completes."
I understand what they are saying , but what is the remedy to it , how to rectify it. I tried starting default server it gives NPE.
ITs kinda very urgent for me any help , or available scripts will be very use ful.
Thanks in advance.

Multiple ASM instances using single cluster install - Is it possible??

Hi,
I have 2 node RAC cluster installed on Linux. All the storage is on EMC. I need to setup another environment using HP storage on the same hosts. Is it possible to created second ASM instance using the same cluster install?? I wanted to have clear separation b/w EMC and HP environments and that's wondering if it's feasible to do that.
Haven't tried it yet to see if it complains.
Thx
Anitha

Anitha,
The data migration won't happen (at least not aggressively) until you do step 2 in your list where you remove the EMC disks. That removal operation will take a long time as Oracle will have to move the data before it can complete the operation. If you want to be sure, I'd recommend creating a new disk group with one of your new disks, put a small tablespace in it, create some data in it, then add a disk to that new group and remove the original disk. Then you'll have some confidence in the procedure and verify that it works without risking your production data. After you test, you can drop the disk group and use the disks for their intended purposes.
To answer your question, yes, that's the process exactly as I suggested it above. Should work fine--but will probably take a while to do the remove, so be prepared to leave that running for quite a while (i.e. don't expect to close the terminal and go home right after running the remove).

NSAPI - directing to multiple weblogic instances

Hi,
I am trying to redirect 2 different URLs (www.test.com/server1 and www.test.com/server2)
to distinct weblogic instances which run on ports 7001 and 8001. The NSAPI instructions
say to do the following in the obj.conf file -- see below. This works great if
I open a new browser window for each one. However, the problem occurs in a single
browser instance when switching between the 2 URLs. Both URL requests will only
be directed to one of the WebLogic instances -- the other WL instance is ignored
no matter what URL you enter.
Any ideas????
# Here we configure the NSAPI module to pass requests for
# "/weblogic" to a WebLogic Server listening at port 7001 on
# the host myweblogic.server.com.
<Object name="weblogic" ppath="*/weblogic/*">
Service fn=wl_proxy WebLogicHost=myweblogic.server.com\
WebLogicPort=7001 PathTrim="/weblogic"
</Object>
# Here we configure the plug-in so that requests that
# match "/servletimages/" is handled by the
# plug-in/WebLogic.
<Object name="si" ppath="*/servletimages/*">
Service fn=wl_proxy WebLogicHost=192.192.1.4 WebLogicPort=7001
</Object>

I am not sure I understand what you want to do.. From your example, what you
are doing is directing anything that has "weblogic" in the URL to a single
weblogic instance. In your case: myweblogic.server.com.
You are also directing anything with "servletimages" in the URL to :
192.192.1.4.
Both these servers are listening on port 7001. There is no mention of 8001.
Let's say you want to have all requests that have "server1" in the URL go to
one weblogic instance and all that have "server2" in the url goto the other
weblogic instance(port 8001), then you need to configure two object tags.
One that has a ppath="*/server1/*" and that will point to weblogic instance
1(port 7001) and another weblogic object that has a ppath="*/server2/*" and
points to weblogic instance 2(port 8001).
Hope this helps.

Eric

Flash Using Browser as Proxy for Requests

I've been looking without success for documentation that
defines the behavior of Flash (and ActiveScript) when submitting an
HTTP request. I've read so far (on sites other than Adobe's) that
Flash will proxy it's requests through the browser thus picking up
any cookies that are tied to the site that the request is sent to.
I've also heard that this proxying does not work for Remoting and
Upload.
Can someone point me to the documentation that definitively
describes how Flash submits HTTP requests? Can I rely on it to
proxy through the browser? My chief concern is that the Flash
application shares the session cookies with the browser since flash
is only a small part of a larger HTML/javascript based web
interface.
Thanks.

Cannot have multiple flvplayback instances using fullscreen

Hello,
I am using AS3 with CS5. I created a flash project which contains multiple instances of flvplayback. Each plvplayback plays a separate video and each has its own controls. It all works fine when playing, pausing and controlling the videos. The problem is with the fullscreen functions. If I click the fullscreen button on the first flvplayback, it makes the second video go full screen. If I click the second video fullscreen button, it opens fine into its own video except when I do it three to four times. After three to four times of toggling fullscreen on the second video, it opens the first video into the browser larger than its original size but not full screen. I have tried recreating the flvplayback instances by re-importing the video files. Each flvplayback has been given its own instance name. Even when I create a separate custom button, not part of flvplayback, and give it the command to launch fullscreen on the first video, it still opens the second video to fullscreen. When I use just one video and remove the other ones, toggling fullscreen works fine for that particular video.
I don't understand what it is going on. This is a very strange problem. Maybe I'm missing something basic so if someone can please help me on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kris

Using fullScreenTakeOver=false prevents only the case that flvplayback become fullscreen by stage.displayState='fullScreen' .
I'm also seeking for a solution for this bug, unfortunately no luck so far.

Weblogic is using only one of the available cpus!

Hi all, I have this problem: weblogic application server 9 mp2 on a linux server with 4 cpus is using only one cpu. The jvm seems to be pinned on one cpu.
Is there something to set or a particular jvm parameter? I'm using the jrockit jvm.

Weblogic to IIS - reverse proxying - WL 7.0

Hi All.
Due to performance reasons, we cannot put IIS as a webserver proxy to weblogic
anymore.
Can anyone tell me if the built in webserver of weblogic can be configured to
proxy ASP pages ?
I know weblogic is an app server but is there a way we can add a handler in weblogic
that will handle ASP pages by proxying the requests to an IIS server sitting behind
it ?
Thanks,
Mallik

You can use weblogic.servlet.proxy.HttpProxyServlet to achieve this.
