Re: Configuring an Apache Front-End for Orbeon Forms

Hi Erik

Happy New Year!

this is great that you put this out there.
When I was looking at upgrading OPS 3.01 to 3.5, I also upgraded
Tomcat5 to the latest and Apache2 from 2.0.52 to 2.2.3.
I saw that there was now this extra proxy option (ajp) but there was
no documentation on how to implement. I'm probably the only person
who didn't think to just substitute the ajp protocol for http.

So you've covered the how, I wonder if you have any comments on the why?
That is, what benefits have you seen from moving from http on port
8080 to ajp on port 8009?

Many thanks
Colin

Good question! A few things I can see:

o Virtual host handling is much easier.

o Some information like whether HTTPs is used, and rarely used things
like client certificates, is passed through AJP but not through HTTP.

o There may be performance benefits (I haven't done any measurement).
