Integrating Apache with Weblogic & Websphere

Integrating Apache with Weblogic & Websphere

Below is the example of integrating apache with weblogic admin console page…

1. Goto WL_HOMEServerbin and locate the file (where WL_HOME is the Weblogic installation directory)

mod_wl_20.so (Regular Strength encryption)
mod_wl28_20.so (128 bit encryption)

2. Goto APACHE_HOMEmodules directory and copy the above file(s)

3. The Apache HTTP Server Plug-In will be installed in your Apache HTTP Server Installation as an Apache Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) which is based on mod_so.c. Make sure it is enabled (By default it should be enabled) by executing the command below.

APACHE_HOMEbinapache -l (You should see mod_so.c in the output).

4.Edit the Apache httpd.conf file in APACHE_HOME/conf directory and add these lines

#Weblogic configuration details

LoadModule weblogic_module modulesmod_wl_20.so

#Location tag is added only for proxy support by path
#It will take precedence when proxying by MIME type
#is also enabled

SetHandler weblogic-handler
PathTrim /weblogic

WebLogicHost Weblogic host ip
WebLogicPort 7001
MatchExpression *

5. Test the syntax of the httpd.conf file using the command

APACHE_HOMEbinapache -t (You should see SYNTAX OK as output).

6. Restart Weblogic and Apache.

Now if you type

http://apachehostip , it should lead to the Weblogic home page (provided the definition was not there, else it will take precedence and instead of http://apachehostip you have to type http://apachehostip/console/ to see the Weblogic Home Page).

Steps for Apache with Web logic using mod_proxy:

From Apache side:

Edit the httpd.conf file in the /conf directory

Add the following lines:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so

#Here Apache and Web logic are running in the same machine.
#Change the IP address to x.y.com if Weblogic is running in a
#different box

NameVirtualHost apachehostip:80

#Here Apache is configured as a proxy server

ProxyPass / http://weblogichostip:7001/
ProxyPassReverse / http:// weblogichostip:7001/

#The default listening port for BEA Web logic application server is 7001

Now if you type

http://apachehostip it should lead to the Weblogic home page.
