Sun Java Sytem Web Server 7.0 blogs Amit's Weblog

Thursday Jul 24, 2008

The other day I was trying to use Web Server 7.0 to set up a reverse proxy. As usual, I googled it and found this nice blog - "Configuring Reverse Proxy in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0". This blog talks about using the CLI to configure a reverse proxy but I wanted to see if I could do the same using the Administration GUI.

As expected, I could manage to configure the reverse proxy with few clicks on the Administration GUI. You can see that in action in the following screen cast:

Hi Amit,

I've follow your steps, it works. Nice tutorial.

Now I have different scenario:

I have deploy my application in 2 dedicated weblogic servers, http://host1:7001/myapp and http://host2:7001/myapp. How can I configure the reverse proxy so whenever user enter the URL, webserver will forward different app server like below;
http://abc.com >> web server will forward to http://host1:7001/myapp
http://abc.com/download >> web server will forward to http://host2:7001/myapp

Hope you can help.
Thanks
