Subject: SV: proxying orion with IIS or
iPlanet Web Server
Just for the sake of asking,
why do you have tomcat serving jsp/servlets and orion serving ejbs if
they're both running on the same machine? For me, that sounds like asking
for extra maintenance trouble. And another thing, from having one "single
point of failure" you now have 3. If either one if these three applications
decide to call it a day your whole application dies and that goes for having
two machines running different software aswell. Why not use two or three
machines all running orion and having them split the workload by clustering
them?

Got a reply for you
:).
I use Apache as a front-end
server. I use Orion to store my EJBs, and I use Jakarta-Tomcat to deploy
servlets and JSPs. Just put the Tomcat and Orion on one and the same
machine, start tomcat with a classpath, that includes the jars of the
Orion server. Put a jndi.properties file somewhere (probably the
web-inf/classes directory) and specify the jndi properties as for a remote
application:
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=ormi://127.0.0.1/<your
application>
java.naming.security.principal=<admin user>
java.naming.security.credentials=<admin pass>
Than you can safely read the
Apache-Tomcat connectivity issues.
I have used this with IAS
instead of orion also. It worked.
Apache and Tomcat are
"cheaper" than other web servers :)
May the shade of the tree
strengthen you.

their webserver won't do it be default, either. Ah,
