Modifications to Sun Java System Web Server

The installation program adds the following entries to the Sun Java System Web Server’s configuration files:

To the web server instance’s magnus.conf file, it adds:

##EE lb-pluginInit 
fn="load-modules"
shlib="web_server_install_dir/plugins/lbplugin/bin/libpassthrough.so" 
funcs="init-passthrough,service-passthrough,name-trans-passthrough" Thread="no"
Init fn="init-passthrough"
##end addition for EE lb-plugin

To the web server instance’s obj.conf file, it adds:

<Object name=default>
NameTrans fn="name-trans-passthrough" name="lbplugin" 
config-file="web_server_install_dir/web_server_instance/config/loadbalancer.xml"
<Object name="lbplugin">
  ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/lbplugin"
  PathCheck fn="deny-existence" path="*/WEB-INF/*"
  Service type="magnus-internal/lbplugin" 
  fn="service-passthrough"
  Error reason="Bad Gateway" 
  fn="send-error" 
  uri="$docroot/badgateway.html"
</object>

In the above code, lbplugin is a name that uniquely identifies the Object, and web_server_install_dir/ web_server_instance/config/loadbalancer.xml is the location of the XML configuration file for the virtual server on which the load balancer is configured to run.

After installing, configure the load balancer as described in Setting Up HTTP Load Balancing
