|
<p>Using standard configurations of Tomcat, web applications can ask for
|
|
the server name and port number to which the request was directed for
|
|
processing. When Tomcat is running standalone with the
|
|
<a href="config/http.html">HTTP/1.1 Connector</a>, it will generally
|
|
report the server name specified in the request, and the port number on
|
|
which the <strong>Connector</strong> is listening. The servlet API
|
|
calls of interest, for this purpose, are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>ServletRequest.getServerName()</code>: Returns the host name of the server to which the request was sent.</li>
|
|
<li><code>ServletRequest.getServerPort()</code>: Returns the port number of the server to which the request was sent.</li>
|
|
<li><code>ServletRequest.getLocalName()</code>: Returns the host name of the Internet Protocol (IP) interface on which the request was received.</li>
|
|
<li><code>ServletRequest.getLocalPort()</code>: Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) port number of the interface on which the request was received.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you are running behind a proxy server (or a web server that is
|
|
configured to behave like a proxy server), you will sometimes prefer to
|
|
manage the values returned by these calls. In particular, you will
|
|
generally want the port number to reflect that specified in the original
|
|
request, not the one on which the <strong>Connector</strong> itself is
|
|
listening. You can use the <code>proxyName</code> and <code>proxyPort</code>
|
|
attributes on the <code><Connector></code> element to configure
|
|
these values.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Proxy support can take many forms. The following sections describe
|
|
proxy configurations for several common cases.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Apache 1.3 supports an optional module (<code>mod_proxy</code>) that
|
|
configures the web server to act as a proxy server. This can be used to
|
|
forward requests for a particular web application to a Tomcat instance,
|
|
without having to configure a web connector such as <code>mod_jk</code>.
|
|
To accomplish this, you need to perform the following tasks:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Configure your copy of Apache so that it includes the
|
|
<code>mod_proxy</code> module. If you are building from source,
|
|
the easiest way to do this is to include the
|
|
<code>--enable-module=proxy</code> directive on the
|
|
<code>./configure</code> command line.</li>
|
|
<li>If not already added for you, make sure that you are loading the
|
|
<code>mod_proxy</code> module at Apache startup time, by using the
|
|
following directives in your <code>httpd.conf</code> file:
|
|
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>
|
|
LoadModule proxy_module {path-to-modules}/mod_proxy.so
|
|
AddModule mod_proxy.c
|
|
</code></pre></div></li>
|
|
<li>Include two directives in your <code>httpd.conf</code> file for
|
|
each web application that you wish to forward to Tomcat. For
|
|
example, to forward an application at context path <code>/myapp</code>:
|
|
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>
|
|
ProxyPass /myapp http://localhost:8081/myapp
|
|
ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://localhost:8081/myapp
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
which tells Apache to forward URLs of the form
|
|
<code>http://localhost/myapp/*</code> to the Tomcat connector
|
|
listening on port 8081.</li>
|
|
<li>Configure your copy of Tomcat to include a special
|
|
<code><Connector></code> element, with appropriate
|
|
proxy settings, for example:
|
|
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>
|
|
<Connector port="8081" ...
|
|
proxyName="www.mycompany.com"
|
|
proxyPort="80"/>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
which will cause servlets inside this web application to think that
|
|
all proxied requests were directed to <code>www.mycompany.com</code>
|
|
on port 80.</li>
|
|
<li>It is legal to omit the <code>proxyName</code> attribute from the
|
|
<code><Connector></code> element. If you do so, the value
|
|
returned by <code>request.getServerName()</code> will by the host
|
|
name on which Tomcat is running. In the example above, it would be
|
|
<code>localhost</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>If you also have a <code><Connector></code> listening on port
|
|
8080 (nested within the same <a href="config/service.html">Service</a>
|
|
element), the requests to either port will share the same set of
|
|
virtual hosts and web applications.</li>
|
|
<li>You might wish to use the IP filtering features of your operating
|
|
system to restrict connections to port 8081 (in this example) to
|
|
be allowed <strong>only</strong> from the server that is running
|
|
Apache.</li>
|
|
<li>Alternatively, you can set up a series of web applications that are
|
|
only available via proxying, as follows:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Configure another <code><Service></code> that contains
|
|
only a <code><Connector></code> for the proxy port.</li>
|
|
<li>Configure appropriate <a href="config/engine.html">Engine</a>,
|
|
<a href="config/host.html">Host</a>, and
|
|
<a href="config/context.html">Context</a> elements for the virtual hosts
|
|
and web applications accessible via proxying.</li>
|
|
<li>Optionally, protect port 8081 with IP filters as described
|
|
earlier.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>When requests are proxied by Apache, the web server will be recording
|
|
these requests in its access log. Therefore, you will generally want to
|
|
disable any access logging performed by Tomcat itself.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>When requests are proxied in this manner, <strong>all</strong> requests
|
|
for the configured web applications will be processed by Tomcat (including
|
|
requests for static content). You can improve performance by using the
|
|
<code>mod_jk</code> web connector instead of <code>mod_proxy</code>.
|
|
<code>mod_jk</code> can be configured so that the web server serves static
|
|
content that is not processed by filters or security constraints defined
|
|
within the web application's deployment descriptor
|
|
(<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>).</p>
