Hi, I have a question what would be the best setup for our situation. I have one webserver with X webapps, that I want to divide over Y instances of openBD. Some webapps I want to share an instance, some webapps I want to give a dedicated instance. Also I will have apps like a /rootfolder, then a /cfroot, a /dataroot, a /webroot, where obviously I want the webserver "site" to point to the /webroot, inside my /rootfolder. In other words, I want files to be outside the webroot. Also, I prefer to have my webapps not in the /tomcat/webapps folder, but seperated.
I am new to openBD and as far as I understand it now, I have two options to achieve this: 1) Setting up a connector bridge in Apache (IIS not yet possible), as described here: http://wiki.openbluedragon.org/wiki/index.php/Single_Instance_Install. I think that would make it pretty much the Adobe CF multi-server setup. This is through the mod_jk connector. 2) Setup the webserver (either Apache or IIS) to proxy in front of the Tomcat/Jetty app server. Both sound pretty doable, I have seen many manual+docs to explain. However, the question is, what scenario is best? If I understand it correctly, performance wise 1) is better. I assume in such a scenario http requests for non-cfm/cfc files will not touch the app server, while in the proxy 2) scenario, they will. Scenario 2) is closer to default install and is probably more easy to work with, more flexible to work with the difference instances and subdirs and will integrate better with URL rewriting. Also, security wise it might be better? Anybody has thoughts about this that they are willing to share? Thanks in advance.
