One radical suggestion...
1. orion serves up static content much faster than Apache. Drop Apache
altogether. I know that Oracle doesn't recommend this, but that's because
they have a vested interest in their other solution.
2. Use an ssl accelerator card. For example, sonicwall has an excellent
card. The loadbalancer from Orion doesn't yet support ssl (docs say it does,
but they are wrong).
3. If you must use apache, use the tunneling survlet.

I am running an orion cluster behind a load balancer and Apache at the
front end on same machine, its on a test
system so theirs no real load. We are using Oracles 9i Application Server.
We use Apache for oracle reports and SSL and of course serving up static
content etc.
The problem is with mod_proxy which is just plain slow.
Oracle is coming out with a ojp protocol which is based on ajp13 which will
solve my problems,
but until then (late october) I wanted to use Orion but it just doesn't
integrate well with apache.
Any suggestions ? No i haven't tried the tunnelServlet, I will look into
that.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this kind of setup. Note we are
using
Oracle's OC4J (which is essentially orion). They bought Orion and popped it
into their next release
of application server.

Gurinder

Have you tried using the tunnelServlet to pass all static requests to
Apache? Its a little "bass-ackwards", but orion could be faster than apache
in this respect.
Also, are you running orion, the loadbalancer, and apache on the same
machine? This could be just a load issue.
Lastly, orion is generally faster than apache at serving up static content.
There are very good reasons for using apache for static content, though,
that have nothing to do with speed. (For example, you have one ssl cert for
apache, and you don't want to pay for another one for orion.).

Is anyone using Apache as a front end to Orion. I find that using mod_proxy
to forward web application requests
is quite slow compared to using tomcat. Does anyone know if there is
something else i can use beside mod_proxy
for Apache to serve static pages and orion to serve my web applications ?
I do need to use Apache as a front end server.
I am also using a loadbalancer and a cluster for my orion setup behind
apache.
Any help would be much appreciated
