SJSWS 7.0 Reverse Proxy Issue

Question

Hi,
I am new here as well as to SJSWS.
We are migrating an Apache reverse proxy to SJSWS 7.0 due to some organisational decisions.
My current RP configuration in Apache on computer1 is as follows and this works great:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
<Proxy >
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyRequests Off
<Location /abc>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
ProxyPass [http://computer2/portal]
ProxyPassReverse [http://computer2/portal]
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /abc /portal
</Location>
</IfModule>
I am trying to configure the same on SJSWS as follows in <vs>-obj.conf :
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/abc" name="reverse-proxy-/abc" to="http:/portal"
<Object ppath="http:">
Service fn="proxy-retrieve" method="*"*
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/abc">
Route fn="set-origin-server" server=http://computer2
</Object>
This above config is not working and from the server logs on computer1 I can see that the subsequent GET requests are failing with example outputs as below:
[02/Jun/2010:12:09:05] warning (28415): for host xx.xx.xx.xx trying to GET /*xyz*/images/yyy.gif;jsessionid=A2E
D385AC9971ED4C4B8D8852F8AE392, send-file reports: HTTP4142: can't find /opt/app/sun/webserver7/https-computer1/docs/*xyz*/images/yyy.gif (File not found)
Seems like the origin server is redirecting to different directories within itself which my reverse proxy config in SJSWS is not able to handle.
Any inputs on what would be the equivalent configuration on SJSWS 7.0 for the config which is working flawlessly on Apache?

Answer 1

Hi,
The following seems to be working for me (configured on computer1):
NameTrans fn="map" from="/abc" name="reverse-proxy-/abc" to="http:/portal"
<Object ppath="http:*">
Service fn="proxy-retrieve" method="*"
</Object>
<Object name="reverse-proxy-/abc">
Route fn="set-origin-server" server="http://computer2"
</Object>It seems that you have <Object ppath="http:"> instead of <Object ppath="http:***">. Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with your setup.
If the above setup does not work:
Where did you get xyz from in GET /*xyz*/images/yyy.gif;jsessionid=A2E? Could you provide the access logs on both computer1 and computer2?
