  • 1.  Application server filter to intercept http request

    Posted Wed October 06, 2010 05:07 PM

    Hi,


    I know that filters mostly created in applications, but have requirement to create Server Side filter as:


    - validate incoming IP
    - call database
    - reject or pass HTTP URL thru to logon to application passing header


    I looked on the net, but can't find anything


     


    Appreciate any sought/suggestion/example

    A servlet filter runs on the server side.  If you are using a Web App, a servlet filter can perform your requirements.

    I have a related question.  How do I get my web server plugin to target a single JVM in a cluster (I have 33 available in the cluster, and when more than 6 are running, we need to be able to target a specific one when reports of trouble arise on one of them).  Oh, almost forgot.  WebSphere Commerce 6.0, FP 8,  running on WAS 6.0.2.37 on Linux with IHS as the webserver.  Do I need to create a special plugin-cfg.xml file?  This is a production issue, but we have other environments equally as complicated.


     


    Thanks

    You have to customize your plugin-cfg.xml file to route the request to only your specific JVM. You can do it byremoving the other JVM entries from the pluginfile and then recycle webserver & app server.
