Providing an endpoint for request forwarding

To configure request forwarding for a site, you must provide a request forwarding endpoint for each virtual server that you want to accept forwarded requests.

Procedure

To provide a request forwarding endpoint:

  1. In the administration console, access the properties of the virtual server in the site that will accept forwarded requests:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, click Global Configuration > Administration > Sites.
    2. Navigate to each virtual server and click the General tab.
  2. In the Request Forwarding Endpoint field, enter the URI. This is the URI of the Java™ technology Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) endpoint or Content Engine Web Services (CEWS) endpoint for the virtual server that is accepting and handling the forwarded request.

    The URI for EJB uses the following format: server_name:port/FileNet/Engine.

    Examples for application servers are as follows:
    • WebLogic: t3://localhost:7001/FileNet/Engine
    • WebSphere® : iiop://localhost:2809/FileNet/Engine

    The URI for WSI uses the following format: server_name:port/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM

    Examples for application servers are as follows:
    • WebLogic: https://server1:7002/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM
    • WebSphere : https://server1:9443/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM
