As Figure 4-1 illustrates, the redirector plug-in forwards HTTP requests to EAServer. For Web servers to forward requests, you must:
Install the redirector plug-in on the Web server.
Edit the Web server configuration file to:
Locate and load the redirector plug-in.
Configure context paths that define which requests (application server hosted Web applications, JSPs, servlets, and so on) are forwarded to EAServer.
Create and edit the redirector configuration file to define the application servers to which the redirector sends requests.
Absolute path names containing spaces should be quoted.
Use forward slashes in path names, not backslashes.
Configure EAServer so it accepts requests from the redirector.
Configuration differs by Web server
Although the process for installing and configuring the redirector
plug-in is similar for each Web server, the names of the
redirector plug-in file, the Web server configuration file, and
the redirector configuration file (which you create) vary. See the
section for your particular Web server when installing and configuring
the redirector plug-in.
