Re: running gwt server code on apache

You can deploy the web application on tomcat and use mod_proxy on apache2 to forward https (or http if required) to tomcat on 8080 (or another port if required)

hi Ed

Yes understood and most of  the "app" is GWT produced javascript, part of a web page, which I've always run on apache2 and don't really want to change that for the ip address supplying servelet which is a recent addition. I already also run  a backend tomcat with an AJP connection to apache2 for a couple of  java coded apps. So is setting up the WEB-INF directory of my GWT "app" separately in tomcat the preferred way to do this or at least a possibility?

Prior to adding  the server code the WEB_INF directory was not needed by apache2 I believe, rather just the javascript, directory. so that does appear to be a reasonable way to go?

jetty is application server while apache2  is a web server.  tomcat is the apache app server.

On my development machine I test my code in jetty. The client code calls a server to get the client ip address. This works fine and I see a server at localhost:8080/foo/bar as I expect. If I browse to it I get a 405 as GET request are not allowed, but that's not a problem as it does the job it's supposed to do ie pass request address back to client code.

It does not work in production were the code is run on apache; the server is not created as on jetty, so that's not unexpected. I first suspicion was that modsecurity is preventing the creation of the server, but that proves to be not so. I also see the same failure over http as over https.

I have a pretty basic apache2 setup on debian (apart from adding modsecurity) and the site config is pretty bog standard for both http and https. I'm guessing I need to tweak something somewhere to allow the server to be created?
