Apache™ Mod Proxy installation

Apache Mod Proxy can be used to forward HTTP requests from an Apache web server to Diffusion . It does not support persistent connections or WebSocket so the WebSocket connections do not work. Make sure that you include the following into the Apache configuration file (Virtual host setting).

ProxyPass /diffusion/ http://localhost:8080/diffusion/

For more information, see the Apache Mod Proxy documentation.

Apache AJP13 Installation

Apache AJP can be used to forward requests from an Apache web server to Tomcat™ . In the Apache virtual host configuration, mount the path

JkMount /diffusion/*dfnjetty

Workers definition file

worker.dfnjetty.port=8009
worker.dfnjetty.host=(host IP)
worker.dfnjetty.type=ajp13
worker.dfnjetty.lbfactor=1
worker.dfnjetty.cachesize=50
worker.dfnjetty.socket_keepalive=1
            
worker.list=dfnjetty

A connector that handles the AJP/1.3 protocol is needed running on port 8009 (because of the Workers file described above). See the Tomcat documentation for more information on this.

IIS Installation

Use an ISAPI_Rewrite tool. For example, http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite

The rewrite rule is as follows:

RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^diffusion/ http://localhost:8080/diffusion/ [p]

The servlet container must be aware of Diffusion . Add the path to the directory that contains the Diffusion JAR file to the Java VM arguments that you use to start the servlet container.
