  • 1.  hosting jsp files in webseal for custom login

    Posted Wed February 12, 2020 11:28 AM
    Hi Team,
    Application has a custom login page in jsp., how can I host that in webseal? I replaced the default login.html with login.jsp provided by the application team, but does not seems to work that way. Please explain how to do this. Thank you!

    Hello Raj,

    The Reverse Proxy is not a Java Server, so you can put the 'login.jsp' file in the Reverse Proxy management root but the Java portion of that page will not be compiled or run as it's not a Java Server.

    My understanding of JSP is that it must run in a Java server such as 'WebSphere' or 'Apache Tomcat' or other java servers.
    These host the libraries and applications, compile the JSP and perform the code functions whenever it is requested by the client.

    So, if you want to simply put the JSP on the Reverse Proxy then add it to the Management Root.
    If you want the JSP to be compiled and run that is not possible on the Reverse Proxy and requires a Java Application Server.
