All,
I have rather an odd situation that I'm hoping someone can give me some
advice on.
Short version:
I need to know if there's a servlet, filter or valve that can be used to
provide the same functionality as mod_jk does for Apache. In other
words, I want to map certain requests to a JK connector running on a
different servlet container.
Long version:
I have a third-party web application deployed that generates some
specific content (in this case maps). For licensing reasons, I can only
deploy this web application in a couple of places.
Now, our developers are all running tomcat locally. Our applications
that consume these maps embed them in iframes. Of course, because of
cross-domain security restrictions, javascript interaction between the
two frames causes problems. For security and ease-of-admin reasons, we
don't want to install Apache/mod_jk locally.
What I would like is something that I can plug in to Tomcat to allow
requests for this third party software to be passed off to a different
servlet container. If I can do this, then the cross-domain issue goes
away completely (there's also a good shot at getting rid of the iframe
completely).
I have found a couple of proxy servlets out there, but they seem
somewhat limited (only process GET requests, etc). My thought was that
if there was a servlet that spoke JK, then you could simply map requests
to that servlet through to the JK connector on another servlet
container, just like Apache/mod_jk does.
Am I out of my mind or what?
Thanks,
Brantley
