Connecting multiple JRun servers to one web server

Connecting one JRun server to an external web server on the same computer is simple. However, to connect additional JRun servers to your external web server, you must take special steps.

For example, you might need a test/QA JRun server and a production JRun server, in addition to the JRun servers configured with the install. In this case you have more than one JRun server connected to a single web server, on one computer, as follows:

One web server connected to multiple JRun servers (production and QA)

This section assumes that you want one web server (such as IIS or Apache), a single installation of JRun, and multiple JRun servers all on the same computer.

Connecting the web server

This section describes how to connect multiple JRun servers to one web server on the same computer.

To connect multiple JRun servers to a single web server:

  1. Using your web-server-specific utility or procedure, create virtual websites for the JRun servers. One of the JRun servers can use the default website but the others must use a virtual site.
  2. Create each new JRun server using the JMC.
  3. Run the Web Server Configuration tool once for each JRun server, each time selecting the appropriate website.

Note:   If the web applications, images, and other resources on the JRun servers are certain to have different names, you can use clustering to connect multiple JRun servers to a single web server. The web server connector routes requests to the appropriate server. However, if any resources are not uniquely named, the web server connector performs load balancing when such resources are requested.

Just a comment on this page - what lines does the wsconfig tool add to magnus.conf and obj.conf in iPlanet when your are connecting two virtual server classes to two different jRun servers?

Is it possible to do this by manually editing these config files, or do we have to run the tool?

so what do you do with 1 web server & 2 jrun servers on _seperate_ boxes? because you can't run the connector wizard, the web server configuration needs to be handled manually - but the means to do this is not at all straightforward.
