Do you need to front-end your GlassFish with Apache ? You can use mod_proxy as described here. Thanks to Manor for the tip! |

GlassFish has had mod_jk support since GFv1; a common use case is where Apache httpd server is serving static pages and delegating to GlassFish for dynamic content. |
The any-day-now GFv2 UR1 release also supports the case where httpd works as a load balancer to a cluster of GF instances, and Jan's latest note describes in detail how this works out.
Jan's entry not just describes how to configure httpd and GF but it also includes an architectural overview, explaining how jvmRoute works in the load balancer scheme used by httpd as well as how it was implemented. Check it out!

Interesting news afoot! Dave and Janne report that the JSPWiki commiters have voted to submit JSPwiki to ASF as an incubator project (check out the Manifesto and the Proposal). JSPwiki is used by the wikis from GlassFish, OpenPortal, OpenDS, Open-ESB and many other sites. JSPWiki is also Integrated with Roller. |
It will be interesting to see how the presence of this effort will impact the wiki landscape. I know I'd like to see a very easy-to-install version on GlassFish v3 not too far in the future.

It seems quite a number of people are using GlassFish with the Apache HTTP Server, so a natural question, which Jean-Francois is asking is whether we should Formalize the Support. Your comments would be appreciated. |
Added: Be sure to check the "mail thread. People are reporting success with mod_jk and mod_proxy_ajp for Apache, isapi_redirect.dll for IIS and nsapi_redirect.dll for iPlanet and Sun One web server.

Ken and Jim are travelling to ApacheCon US next week to talk about GlassFish. They will host a booth, give out T-shirts (we should design a new T-shirt - maybe using CafePress), and Jim will be hosting a BOF Wednesday night at 8pm on GlassFish for Tomcat Users. |
Jim has been involved in Tomcat since the early days, so this should be both informed and informative, and thanks to Ken for the tip.

The entry on PHP and GlassFish reminded me about another recently thread, this one on Connecting GlassFish to Apache. Amy contributed to that thread and pointed to an Earlier Blog and to a bug on this area that is now closed and fixed. |
So, in principle, this works, but it would be very useful to have confirmation and some detailed instructions. Post them somewhere, or in comments to this entry.
