Problem conclusion

  • Made use of a context parameter that allows the application
    developer to specify the proxy url being used.
    Customers must configure the proxy server and configure a
    context parameter on the application.
    To configure your proxy server:
       1. On the Web server where HATS is installed, locate the
    file httpd.conf.
       2. Using a text editor such as Notepad, add the following
    two lines to the file:
    
     ProxyPass /project_name/ http://yyyyy:port/project_name/
    ProxyPassReverse /project_name/ http://yyyyy:port/
    project_name/
    where "project_name" is the name of your HATS project,
    "yyyyy" is the fully-qualified IP address of the HATS
    server,
    and "port" is the port number
    To set up the context parameter:
    1. Edit the web.xml file of the application (located in
    the "Web Content\WEB-INF" folder).
       2. Add the following:
     <context-param>
     <param-name>com.ibm.hats.proxyURL</param-name>
     <param-value>http://myproxyserver.com:port/project_name</
    param-value>
       </context-param>
    
     where "myproxyserver.com" is is the url of the proxy
    server, "port" is the port number, and "project_name" is
    the name of your HATS project.
