Using Tomcat as a reverse proxy
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Dear List,
I have an application where I need to use tomcat as a reverse proxy
for certain URLs.
Yes - I know normally it is the other way around, but not in this case.
Is there a reverse proxy solution already out there for tomcat? or do
I need to
implement it myself.
Thanks for any information,
Regards
Andrew

Thanks Tim,
Thanks Peter,
I have been looking all day, and only found entries for how to use
mod_proxy
to connect to tomcat - rather than the other way around!
Will definitely have a look at these!
Thanks again,
Andrew
PS: Have you ever compared running (mod_proxy|mod_jk)+apache+tomcat
versus
just running tomcat?! We doubled our requests per second by throwing
away
Apache. The HTTP connector in Tomcat 5.0/ 5.5 is actually REALLY usable.
(And besides - I use lighttpd and not Apache) :-)

Re: Using Tomcat as a reverse proxy

Dear Chris,
I am well aware of this - which is why I said it is NORMALLY the
other way around.
In our case though, our static content - images, etc are handled by
stand alone
image servers - ie: image.mydomain.com and our dynamic content comes
from www.mydomain.com.
I have the issue that I have a few things hosted externally from my
servers that need to
be reachable under www.mydomain.com/mypath . These make about 0.1% of
my total requests to
www.mydomain.com - and therefore makes very little sense to include
the latency of Apache
or Squid as a reverse proxy in front of the tomcats...
Thats why my question - Does anyone know of a reverse proxy that I
can install in tomcat.
Thanks
Andrew

The Apache web server already has this functionality built in using
mod_proxy. I would think Tomcat would not be well suited for doing this
sort of task. Apache is going to be much more I/O efficient and has been
tested and debugged for a VERY long time.
