I am trying to plan how I might manage my complete web site(s) as I further integrate tapestry into what I am doing. I am using tomcat (4.1) as the servlet container, apache2 as the static content provider (the two are linked via jk_mod).
One area that I don't yet know how to address is integration of other applications that are totally served by apache. That is mainly mailman and gallery. One idea is to manage the border and navigation via tapestry and render an <iframe> to cause the browser to load the other application directly in the content area. The downside of this is complex url management to ensure apache can still source the correct stuff, even though the root context is likely to be tomcat/tapestry - and lack of information back to the navigation class in tapestry about exactly where in the subframe the user has navigated himself to. On possible alternative is to set up the other applications to be serviced by apache on another (firewalled off) port on localhost, and serve all external requests directly by tomcat/tapestry. In this case, I could ensure 3rd party content is rendered by tapestry by reading the response from an external url passing it directly through. I would need a component that did that. Anyone done anything similar who could help? or point me in the right direction? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
