Communicating with SAP Mobile Server Through a Reverse Proxy

Connect to SAP Mobile Server through a Reverse Proxy using Relay Server or the Apache Web server.

The Object API application can communicate with SAP Mobile Server:

Directly
Through Relay Server by specifying:
- Just the FarmID
- Just the URL suffix
- Both the FarmID and URL suffix
Through a Reverse Proxy by specifying only the URL suffix - you can configure the reverse proxy in such a way that the device communicates to http://server:port/customcontext/tm or /tm2 when communicating with SAP Mobile Server. "FarmID" has no meaning when using a Reverse Proxy. In this case, use only the URL suffix and leave "FarmID" empty.
Note: You can also use the custom context with the Relay Server when using Apache.

Connecting to SAP Mobile Server Through a Reverse Proxy Using Relay Server:

// Register:
    Application.getInstance().getConnectionProperties().setUrlSuffix
      ("/ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll/$messaging-farmId$")
    // (e.g. /ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll/mega-vm008.msg) 

//Synchronize:
    TestDB.getSynchronizationProfile().getStreamParams().setUrl_Suffix
       ("/ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll/$replication-farmId$")
    // (e.g. /ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll/mega-vm008.rep)
