Connecting to external web servers
After you install and configure JRun, you can connect it to an external web server so that
requests made to Apache, for example, are examined by the JRun filter, processed, and
then sent back through the Apache web server to the requesting client.
Be aware that each JRun server is by default connected to an instance of the JRun Web
Server (JWS). If you want a more robust environment, you can connect an external web
server, such as Apache, Netscape iPlanet, or Microsoft IIS, to the JRun server. You can
have any number of web servers connected to a single JRun server.
To connect JRun to your customer's external web server, you use the included Web Server
Configuration tool. You can use this tool in the following ways, depending on what you
want your customer's user-experience to be:
GUI

Silently running the Web Server Configuration tool
With the command-line version of the tool, you can supply all the options on the
command line or you can use a property file to supply the responses using file
redirection. The property file contains tags that are equivalents of command-line options.
This is commonly used by OEMs and ISVs that do not want to expose JRun to their
customers.
On the command line, the Web Server Configuration tool uses the following syntax:
%> java -jar jrun_root/lib/wsconfig.jar [options]
To use a property file for options, use the following syntax:
%> java -jar jrun_root/lib/wsconfig.jar -f property-file
For more information on using the Web Server Configuration tool command-line
options, see Installing JRun.
