Proxy by URL to WebLogic 9.1

Question

Hello,
I have just installed Sun Java System Web Server 6.1sp8 on my desktop. I have also installed WebLogic Server 9.1 on the same desktop. The issue that I have is that I cannot seem to proxy requests from Sun to WebLogic, the Sun web server keeps looking for the application in its own document root. Below are my entries from both the magns and obj.conf as well as the error from my web server log.
magnus:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="wl_proxy,wl_init" shlib="C:/bea/weblogic91/server/plugin/win/32/proxy36.dll"
Init fn="wl_init" Debug=true
I believe this is read correctly as it is creating the 'wlproxy.log' in c:\temp (its default home)
obj.conf:
<Object name="WLSTEST" ppath="*/*wls_utc*/*">
Service fn=wl_proxy WebLogicHost=127.0.0.1 WebLogicPort=7002
<Object>
I have checked for leading and trailing spaces etc. There are no syntax errors that I can find.
error log:

As you can see by the log entry, it is looking in its own docroot and not forwarding to WebLogic. The WebLogic server is running and functional, the application can be accessed directly from the WebLogic server.
Any help would be appreciated. I am stumped...

Answer 1

I am almost there:
Based on the documentation link that you sent me, I better understand the configuration and my WebLogic test now works. However, I wanted to repeat the process for good measure and I cannot repeat my prior success.
The following proxy now works as expected:
<Object name=default>
NameTrans fn="WebLogic-Test" name="WLSTEST"
<Object name="WLSTEST" ppath="*/wls_utc/*">
Service fn=wl_proxy WebLogicHost=127.0.0.1 WebLogicPort=7002
</Object>
My second proxy in the same obj.conf, does not work, I get a 404 error with the same error in the logs as before:
[24/Mar/2008:16:13:08] warning ( 2256): for host 127.0.0.1 trying to GET /webapps-simple/, send-file reports: HTTP4142: can't find C:/Sun/WebServer6.1/docs/webapps-simple/ (File not found)
NameTrans fn="WebLogic-Test2" name="WLSTEST2"
<Object name="WLSTEST2" ppath="*/webapps-simple/*">
Service fn=wl_proxy WebLogicHost=127.0.0.1 WebLogicPort=7002
</Object>
They are identical other than the function name (WebLogic-Test and WebLogic-Test2), parameter name (WLSTEST and WLSTEST2) and URI ("*/wls_utc/*" and "*/webapps-simple/*"). The NameTrans directives are in the following order:
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="WebLogic-Test" name="WLSTEST"
NameTrans fn="WebLogic-Test2" name="WLSTEST2"
Any ideas?
Thanks!
