WebLogic and Apache

Hi,
          We are developing an application using WebLogic ejb and servlet and we
          are planning to use Apache as the HTTP server. Are there any know
          issues about this combination?
          According to the manual, the mod_proxy of Apache can be used to link
          Apache and Weblogic. Has anybody done that?
          Thanks,
          Cecil Pang

This doesn't sound like a definitive answer. Are you saying we will NOT
          support you if you use Apache?
          Should it work? What are people doing wrong? The answer below isn't
          much help IMHO.

Cookie will not write using weblogic 5.1 and Apache

          Hi,
          I'm having problems having my application write cookies under the UNIX environment. It works fine under
          the NT environment. Could this be a problem with the Apache plugin and weblogic 5.1???
          Under the UNIX environment, it will not write to the cookies at all. Is it because I have weblogic and apache
          on two sperate machines?? Any advice would be much appreciated.
          Thanks,

SSI with weblogic and JSP

Hi All
I am sorry, if my question sounds irrelevant.
1. Can we configure weblogic and apache to use server side includes (SSI) ? If yes please let me know how to do so.
2. Can I have SSI's in my JSP?
Thanks
Prashant

We have used mod_weblogic in apache and added
Option +Includes
for the location handled by Weblogic.
But still the SSI directives are not processed by apache.
Is there a way for apache to process SSI directives coming from Weblogic?

Using Resin and Weblogic with Apache

Hi,
Does anybody know if i can use Weblogic to serve JSP and Resin to
serve some servlets within Apache?
Let me explain the case:
We are testing to setup Weblogic with Apache as the webserver.
Weblogic will be used to serve the JSP pages so i configured the
httpd.conf as follows:
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
MatchExpression *.jsp
WebLogicHost localhost
WebLogicPort [port]
</IfModule>
This works fine and i can serve the jsp-pages without any problems.
Since we work with thirdparty software we need to use Resin too. This
is not much trouble to implement in Apache and i can make sure that
some servlets are handled by caucho instead of Weblogic:
<Location /servlet/Inventory>
SetHandler caucho-request
</Location>
The above request works fine too!
However i have to load the resin.conf file for full use of Resin in
Apache. This setting however implicates that JSP pages aren't served
by Weblogic anymore but are sent to Resin also. Even with the
MatchExpression setting in httpd.conf, Apache still thinks JSP needs
to be sent to Resin instead of Weblogic.
Is there some way i can make sure that the JSP pages are served by
Weblogic and not by Resin???
Thanx in advance

Hi all,
Well, i figured it all out and if anyone would like to give it a try
to, just do the following.
The mod_caucho.so file was compiled with the option to handle .jsp
files. I hashed out the following line in
/src/c/plugin/common/config.c:
cse_add_locatio ..... jsp etc.
And then i configure the mod_caucho.so with:
./configure --with-apxs=/apps/apache/bin/apxs
Now i have a perfect mod_caucho.so file which does not handle .jsp.
All calls with .jsp are processed by weblogic, just as i wanted!
Have fun with it (i shall :-)

Problem with WLIOTimeoutSecs in weblogic and apche CSS load balancer

Hi,
We are using Weblogic 11g, apache 2.2 and CSS load balancer for load balancing.
we have huge reports which take minutes to generate and hence we need higher value for WLIOTimeoutSecs. This works fine when we use server url but WLIOTimeoutSecs is not working when we use CSS load balancer.
We checked with our load balancing team they said CSS load balancer will not repost the request.
Here is the plugin configuration
<Location /*****>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
PathTrim /
WebLogicHost 'serevrip'
WebLogicPort 'port'
WLIOTimeoutSecs 3600
Idempotent OFF
WLProxySSL ON
DefaultFileName /***/***/index.jsp
Debug On
WLLogFile /***/***/***/***.log
</Location>
Could some please help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Tarun,
The problem occurs when the SSL is enabled on apache. If I access the same URL over HTTP, the parameter WLIOTimeOut works fine.
Also I observed that, none of the parameters are getting applied to the plugin. I had switched on 'DebugConfigInfo'. With this the HTTP URL with ?__WebLogicBridgeConfig as query parameter returned the complete configuration. However when accessed with HTTPS the server did not return the configuration.
Is there a specific configuration to be applied when apache is used with SSL?
Thanks for your help,

Sessions wth WL8.1 and Apache Plug In

We are currently facing problems with session failover with WL 8.1(SP4) and Apache(2.0.54) plugin.
          Just wanted to know if session replication works across different subnets.
          We have Managed Servers running on different subnets which are part of a single cluster. Session replication works (tested with the sample InMemRepClient application supplied with weblogic) when machines within the subnet are up and fails when machines within the same subnet are down, although machines are up in a different subnet.
          Does weblogic allow session replpication to work across different clusters with different subnets?
          Is this a limitaion with WL8.1 and is this session replication work across subnets with WL9?
          Thanks.

I believe that we recommend having all the managed srevers in a single subnet. However, even if the cluster spans more than one subnet, you can configure the Multicast Time-To-Live (TTL) parameter for the cluster and it will work fine. Please have a look on following pieces of documentation:
          "If Your Cluster Spans Multiple Subnets in a WAN" on http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/cluster/features.html
          And
          "Configure Multicast Time-To-Live (TTL)" on http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/cluster/setup.html#732108
          Hope this helps.

WLS 6.1 SP2 and Apache 1.3.26 Windows NT/2000

Hi,
Is there an Apache plugin available for WLS 6.1 (SP2) and Apache 1.3.26 running
on Windows NT/2000?
thanks

I've solved my own problem. I learned that there was a sp4 (let alone a
sp3) for WLS. Installed that and the problem went away. Sorry for the
noise.

WLS 6.1 SP3 and apache plugin

Hello,
I have WLS 6.1 SP3 and apache 1.3.26 installed on solaris 8.
I enabled the weblogic Weblogic Plug-In Enabled for my wls server and
then I configured my apache server like the following:
1) I used mod_wl.so that comes with wls under
\bea\wlserver6.1\lib\solaris
2) Then I loaded that module using APACHE_HOME/bin/apxs -i -a -n
weblogic mod_wl.so
When I load the module I get the following:
[Thu Jan 15 10:05:53 2004] [warn] Loaded DSO libexec/mod_wl.so uses
plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI!
please recompile it with -DEAPI)
/usr/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd started
I don't understand that message
3) The following lines were added to httpd.conf:
LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl.so
AddModule mod_weblogic.c
4) Then I added the following to the httpd.conf:

WebLogicHost 10.1.10.205(my weblogic IP)
WebLogicPort 7020 (my weblogic port)
FileCaching On

The problem is that the apache server is not able to redirect the jsp
calls to the WLS server and I'm always getting "The page cannot be
displayed"
Any information that might guide me to solve this problem is appreciated

What is difference between Weblogic and OSB

Hi,
The title says it all.
What is the difference between Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Service Bus?
Assuming both products are part of the Oracle strategy, when would I use each product?
I am really struggling as I cannot find a link with this information.
Many thanks
Jason

Jason,
Weblogic is application server. Service Bus is a product which runs on top of Weblogic.
You can find plenty information about both products on the web.

Do I need to set system env variables for weblogic and SOA server installation?

Hi All,
   I already have two weblogic application servers on my machine(that were installed by others).
I observed some environment variables were also set in System variables(ORACLE_HOME,WEB_SERVER_HOME etc) section in Env variables section(Start Menu---> Computer --> properties ---).But why do we need to have system environment variables wherein we already have those variables in files like setDomainEnv.bat or/and setSOADoaminEnv.bat for each server.
And one more thing system variables will be applicable for all servers(the whole machine) right.It may spoil the installation of new servers and present servers as variables should be unique to each server.
    I want to install weblogic and SOA server installation.
So Can I remove the existing system variables(as they will applicable for every server) and install weblogic and SOA server installation without setting up the environment variables?
Especially I have multiple Weblogic servers,In that case how it would be to have environment variables(JAVA_HOME,WL_HOME,ORACLE_HOME etc)?
Please guide me on this to installl SOA suite .
Thanks in advance

Installing Coldfusion 9 and Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

I'm having issues getting ColdFusion 9 working with Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.
The server is brand new and it's a fresh install of Apache and ColdFusion 9.
Having installed Apache, I tested the web server and it was working fine, so I proceeded to install ColdFusion 9. I attempted to restart the Apache server through the Apache Service monitor, only to get the error dialog box 'The requested operation has failed'.
On closer examination of the Windows error log, I saw the following error:
The Apache service named reported the following error: >>>
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 488 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so into server: The Apache service named is not a valid Win32 application.
I updated the ColdFusion installation to 9.0.1 in case there was an issue with version 9.0 and Apache. Still no joy.
After a bit of research, I thought perhaps there was an issue with the mod_jrun22.so file (since when I commented out the reference to that file from the Apache config file, the Apache HTTP server started without any problem). I tried replacing the mod_jrun22.so with the 32 bit version (extracted from the wsconfig.jar file), but that made no difference either.
I have tried a number of things. I have run wsconfig and uninstalled all web server connectors and then re-created them.
I have to use Apache and IIS is not an option (I use rewrite rules extensively in an existing live installation and have many sites set up in a vhosts file), so please - no suggestions to use IIS instead.
The system requirements on http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/coldfusion/systemreqs/ state that Coldfusion 9 will work with Apache 2.2.17 and later on Windows 64 bit, so why am I having issues with a brand-new installation on a 'virgin' server?
Any help would be much appreciated. I have spent hours trawling the Web for solutions.

I missed an important detail in my opening post. My Coldfusion 9 version is 64 bit - not 32.
OK. Simple solution to this. I'll put it here for other peoples' reference.
To cut a long story short, after phoning Adobe support this morning I was told that you can't run a 64 bit version of ColdFusion with a 32 bit web server. In essence, the web server software and the ColdFusion server software must be the same - either 32 or 64 bit.
Apache is only officially released as a 32 bit version, but there is a 64 bit unofficial version available from http://www.blackdot.be/?inc=apache/binaries, so I downloaded that and installed it, based on the instructions at http://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/64bit-apache-php-mysql-windows.html.
Once I'd installed the 64bit version of Apache, the installation of Coldfusion 9 64 bit went smoothly and all appears to be working just fine now (well, I can get to the ColdFusion Administrator page and I have successfully updated the server software to ColdFusion 9.0.1).
The fact that you can't mix different 'bit' versions of software in this way may be obvious, but it wasn't obvious to me. Having been an early adopter of a 64 bit version of Vista on my own PC, I never experienced these kind of problems before. Software installed itself into the corresponding locations on my PC without any problem and just worked. This is the first time I've run into this problem.
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any information regarding this very important requirement on the system requirements pages, so I suggested to the support engineer that he may want to make the recommendation that the page is amended to clarify the situation: e.g.
IMPORTANT: 64 bit versions of ColdFusion require 64 bit versions of web server software to function. You can not mix 32 bit and 64 bit versions of web servers and ColdFusion server.
Hope this helps someone else out.

Problems when using shared instances of struts and apache-commons?

I found this worrisome statement on this page (http://struts.apache.org/1.3.8/userGuide/configuration.html) regarding sharing jar files across multiple applications:
<i>When a class is loaded from a shared class loader, static variables used within that class become global as well. This can cause inter-webapp conflicts when the underlying code assumes that the statics are global only within a particular web applicaiton (which would be true if the class was loaded from the webapp class loader). There are many cases where the framework, and the Commons libraries it relies on, use static variables to maintain information that is presumed to be visible only within a single web application. <b>Sharing these JAR files can cause unwanted interactions, and probably cause incorrect behavior</b>.</i>
For those of you currently using Struts and Apache Commons (and perhaps other open source libraries) have you run into any issues when sharing the jars amongst multiple applications?
I would like to avoid having multiple applications loading their own copies of these libraries, for obvious reasons. However, if there are issues with doing so, I may have to relax that position.

To answer my own questions, while we didn't run into any issues with sharing Struts, it may be a good idea to incorporate the libraries directly into the web app if suspicious behaviour is observed by the application.
Also, the taglib definitions could not be loaded from the referenced jar files - these had to be placed into the WEB-INF directory, which introduces a synchronization problem - you could conceivably have different versions of the tld's and the base libraries.
