XTS and native TCP/IP for Apache <-> Tamino

  • 1.  XTS and native TCP/IP for Apache <-> Tamino

    Posted Thu October 21, 2004 12:02 AM
    • What exactally is needed to configure a webserver to
      use TCP/IP or XTS to communicate to a Tamino XML Server
      As I know:
      1)put lines in following format:
      <Location /tamino/mydb>
      SetHandler ino
      Host xyz.abc.de
      Port 4711

      into httpd.conf and restart the apache, the web server
      will use native TCP/IP to connect to Tamion server
      2)runing x-port installation on the webserver machine, which will put
      lines in following format:
      ## BEGIN Software AG, Tamino
      # added at Fri Nov 22 15:01:15 MET 2002
      Include “…/X_Port/Apache2_64/TaminoApache.conf”
      ## END Software AG, Tamino
      in httpd.conf, and with the /etc/hosts configured with appropriated lines,
      it will use XTS.

      My Question is: Am I right with above. And what if I have both configured,
      which one(XTS or native TCP/IP) will be used?(Suppose the Tamino server is
      configured to accept both TCP/IP and XTS)

    Yes.

    Tamino’s Apache interface uses following algorithm to locate the desired Tamino server:
    1. If the used URL is mapped to a Tamino server (e.g. “<Location /tamino/mydb>” in your sample),
    then it forwards the request to this Tamino server via native TCP/IP.
    2. If the used URL is NOT mapped to a Tamino server (only generic mapping for “<Location /tamino>”, then it uses XTS to locate a server with the correct name and forwards the request to this Tamino server via XTS.
    3. If XTS communication (see step 2) fails, then it looks into the (local) registry; if a Tamino server with the correct name is contained, then it forwards the request to this Tamino server via TCP/IP.
