Configuring IHS server to direct traffic to the Netty component bound to a port
- by rbot
I have a Server Component ( based on Jboss-Netty, which could maintain & handle persistent connections ) deployed in WAS. This component when deployed & initiated within the WAS environment, binds to a port & listens for incoming HTTP connection.
[ Why i had to deploy a Netty HTTP Server within WAS is another story - management requirement !! Netty is deployed in WAS as a spring bean which when initiated runs on a port in the machine, independent of WAS ]
Clients (mobile app) were able to establish persistent HTTP connections (to the above URL::Port) with this netty component & send/receive requests.
Now, I have to replicate this feature in our Production Environment where a IHS Server (Web Server) which sits before the WAS.
What i expected is to get a IHS URL which could redirect the incoming packets to the specific PORT on WAS, so that the Client apps can establish a similar persistent http connection.
Our Server Admin tried a few combinations and we are not able to identify how to proceed further on this.
Your expert ideas would be highly appreciated.
