Re: Built-In Web Server Configuration vs Third-Party Web Server?

Hi Guys,
I am new to Coldfusion and I plan on setting it up within a Windows based environment for development purposes, I will eventually upload my files to a shared hosting service..
Could I get a pros vs cons comparison of configuring Coldfusion using the Built-In Web Server vs a Third-Party Webserver such as Apache?
My initial feeling is if I could keep the installation simple by using the self contained Built-In Web Server then why wouldn't I do that?  I'm guessing there must be more to it.  Please explain!
Thanks in advance!

The built-in web server is sufficient for local CF development. It's what I use nowadays.
If you have web server-specific implementation details as part of your application, like URL rewriting, you'll want to use whatever web server will be used in production.

  • HOw to consume/configure a third party web service from webDynpro

    Hi
    I have create a Adaptive webservice model .
    1. selected the UDDI or URL option after decalring the model name and package.
    2. Default metadata destination = ImgGen
    3. Definig execution destination = Exec.
    4. Entered the WSDL url  AND GENERATED THE WEB SERVICES SUCCESSFULLY.( HTTP://(SERVERNAme):port/WSName/some.asmx?WSDL )
    I HAVE DEFINED dYNAMIC PROXY USING vISUAL ADMIN.
    Visual admin >> Web services security >> Runtime >> security configuration >> Webservice clients >> sap.com >> DynamicWSProxies >>
    Gave destination Name same as default metadata and created one more for execution( step 2 aND 3) AND url =(HTTP://(SERVERNAme):port/WSName/some.asmx)
    restarted thre server.
    When I try to consume the webservices
    I am getting the following error.

    Thanks Siva,
    My version
    Version: 7.0.09
    Build id: 200608262203
    I need to push my webdynpro application into QA system. so third party webservices also move to it's own QA system.
    Now Once I need to move my code to QA the webservice should point to third party webservice's QA system.
    This is the reason I am defining them in the Visual admin.
    This works fine when I use without using default destiation metadata and  execution .
    Since I need to move them to QA and at the same time webservice host is also moving to its QA server, I need to change the reference so that my webdynro model points to the QA server where the webservice is pointing.
    Please note WebAS QA server where my webdynpro for java program is depoloyed and the WEbservice is hosted in a different server and is a non SAP webservice.

  • Report export to third party syslog server

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to send the Cisco ACS secure server report to third party syslog server?
    Example: for audit purpose, i need the data extract from Monitoring & Reports > Reports >  Catalog >  AAA Protocol
    I trying by create new remote log targets, the IP is pointing to third party syslog server.
    and at the logging categories > global, i apply the new create log collector to all logging categoires.
    Am i doing it right?
    please comment, thanks
    Noel

    Hi Yong,
    Yes that's possible. You can use the web interface to configure logging category messages so that they are sent to remote syslog server targets
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/logging.html#wp1052741
    ACS provides these preconfigured global ACS logging categories, to which you can assign log targets.

  • Configuring PI SSL for communicating with third-party web services

    Hi,
    I'm trying to load a COMODO certificate into a J2EE environment running in NetWeaver 7 (no enhancement packs), in order to connect to an external web service using SSL
    I have been looking at this reference:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a0/a5d13f83a14d21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    and in this document (and many others i've read) it talks about requiring a server key pair to support SSL.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm
    My question is - is there a way to use the self-signed root CA certificates instead of having to generate CSRs and sign certs?  I ask this because it seems completely impractical to have to generate key pairs for each SAP installation that is required to access a third-party web service.
    Furthermore, the SSL connection may only be for the web service and I'd rather not have to ask that the entire J2EE server is switched to SSL in order to make this secure connection. I've recently discovered the AXIS framework for the SOAP adaptor however I'm not familiar with it and can't identify whether you could use this for the SSL handshake and avoid having to a) generate certificate key pairs and b) switch your J2EE server to SSL
    Does anyone have experience connecting to a third-party service using VeriSign, COMODO or Thawte certificates and can clear this up for me?
    Regards,
    John

    Did you resolve your issue?
    I´m posting some comments that maybe can help newer administrators facing similar doubts.
    I´m using NW PI 7.1 EHP1 also and some interfaces were developed for using an external site providing web services through SSL (HTTPS) connection.
    As in browser navigation, secure sites protected with SSL has a certificate emited by a international CA. We didn´t perceive the "handshake" in the most of cases because normally the web browser has a group of trusted CAs loaded on its certificate store.
    With SAP PI and its WAS Java a similar procedure occurs with a small difference. The WAS Java didn´t have the trusted CAs loaded on KeyStorage. So, when the adapter tries to establishing a connection with an HTTPS site (it is a background process)  a "handshake" is required to accepting the certificate and produces a error.
    We completes the handshake importing the entire certificate chain (you can upload the site´s certificate to your browser and export it as file) on Keytore under the Trusted CAs view.
    Hope this can help someone. It´s an "easy" part of SSL communication.
    Now I´m trying to configure the inverse: Some third party consuming the PI web services using SSL. I have an additional component on inbound/ incoming connections that is the SAP Web Dispatcher.
    The Help.sap.com is the reference but as always its a little difficult to find the (sequential) path following the links (go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go back, go back, go ahead)...

  • How to import (create) a sales order of configured product from third party web store

    Background:

  • How do I get my Third-Party Mail Server to deliver Mail quickly to BlackBerry?

    With Gmail and Yahoo! the mail delivery is very fast.  We own/use a Windows Mail Server that is IMAP/POP/Etc. but sometimes it take mail quite some time to display in the BlackBerry device.  Is there a trick to it?
    Thanks for the help.

    With BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) accounts e-mail accounts are polled every 15 minutes for mail. If mail is found then it is pushed to the device. Then the mail account is polled every 3 minutes (for 5 cycles) for mail. If there is no mail found, then it will be polled again in 15 minutes.
    Gmail and Yahoo! Mail have special agreements with RIM that allow the mail to be delivered instantly, thus the instantaneous push. If you want your mail instantly pushed then you would need to create a BlackBerry E-mail Account (via your carrier's BIS web site) then configure your mail account to forward the mail to the BlackBerry e-mail account.
    For example, let's say you have T-Mobile. You could create an e-mail account called [email protected] Then you would configure your third-party e-mail account to forward any e-mails received to the [email protected] address. This way the messages would come through instantly. More information on this is here: Methods of Receiving E-mail on BlackBerry
    The only other option would be to use a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) or a Hosted BES provider (like MailStreet or ExchangeMyMail).

  • Web as Java and Third Party

    Please guide me experts and i will give you back the good *oints.
    Thank you experts,

  • SOA Suite 11g calling external third party web service

    Hi All,
    Our SOA 11g application needs to communicate with an external third party web service (outside SOA composite and our 11g environment). Basically our SOA application will make a request based on date and the external web service will return a collection of data for that date.
    Please suggest how do I achieve this. What inputs will I need from the external third party. I am using SOA 11.1.1.4
    Thanks
    Edited by: user5108636 on 10/05/2011 19:11

    You will need the WSDL of the third party web service to be able to consume it. Based on the wsdl you can generate the request structure then invoke the service.
    Also do check with them if there is security associated with the webservice like HTTPS, any soap header that need to be passed, etc ....
    Based on this you will need additional configuration on your side.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    You create the usernames and passwords where you host your website. Made with or without iWeb.
    Usually it's done in the controlpanel where you manage your account.
    If you cannot do it there, you'll have to do it yourself. See this post :

  • How can I force the close of a third party ActiveX server.

    We have a third party ActiveX executable that refuses to shut itself down once in a while. And when I say once in a while, I mean one out of every 20-30 times it's attempted. All termination commands are being sent and recieved properly, and all refnums are being closed. No errors are ever generated, all operations report successful, but the thing just won't die. Problem is of course, that if we attempt to restart our software after the ActiveX app fails to terminate, it generates server execution errors when trying to open a new instance. We are not expecting a speedy resolution from the third party, but it is becoming a great inconvenience for our customers. I would like to be able to kill the process thro
    ugh the OS as a last resort. Problem is, to do that I need a ProcID. Is there any way to retrieve a ProcID for the ActiveX server through LabVIEW? Alternatives and suggestions are welcome.

    Hello codeman,
    Thank you for your inquiry regarding closing a third party ActiveX server. It sounds like the third party application is having trouble closing. There are several Windows Utility VIs available that could help in this case. One of the Utility VIs is called Get Window Refnum and should return an instance of a Windows window. The following links are great resources when dealing with this issue.
