Virtualization with BEA WebLogic Server apps

stevekrys

Hi all,

Current installation of TeamSite (on Win2K platform, Version 5.5.2) working with BEA WLS app servers for vitualization. TeamSite is the only Windows server, all other servers are UNIX Solaris. All pages in TeamSite are jsp. Static assets (images, html, etc) also being served by BEA WLS for development in workareas.

Currently the model for virtualization is "heavyweight" - 1 WLS app instance per workarea. We want to share single WLS app instance ("lightweight") with many workareas to increase scalability of virtualization.

Here are two of the proxy settings for two workareas (there are others very that are very similar):

_regex=^/iw-mount(/default/main/bose/EN/US/C_Release/WORKAREA/design)(/[^\?]*jsp)$=http://localhost:80/iw-bin/ic_npxy.cgi?branch=$1&path=$2&prefix=http://devweb301.bose.com:8003/controller

_regex=^/iw-mount(/default/main/bose/EN/US/B_Release/WORKAREA/design)(/[^\?]*jsp)$=http://localhost:80/iw-bin/ic_npxy.cgi?branch=$1&path=$2&prefix=http://devweb301.bose.com:8002/controller

We have a developer who will be modifying the context-root in WLS configuration (right now it is set for "/" in all instances). He states that in order to make the "one to many" WLS to TS workarea model work, we have to re-path the static asset directories. Currently all directories are absolutely pathed to the root to maintain efficient and consistent front end development. We are being told that these static asset directories will need be pathed relatively like "./images/" instead of "/images/".

My question - it is very inefficient to have to re-path from absolute to relative paths to make this work. Are we missing something? Can we set up "lightweight" sandboxes to workareas without having to re-path directories?

The TeamTurbo product for BEA is at end-of-life. It is possible to set up some virtualization with proxy scripts. I recommend you contact support or your consulting team for more information.

Hi steve.

using Team turbo for the weblogic server will do. (http://www.interwoven.com/documents/datasheets/ttbea.pdf)
TeamTurbo enables all users to preview the latest versions of both the application code and content in different versions of the WebLogic application during the development lifecycle. By offering this feature within the ECM platform, TeamTurbo prevents one person’s changes from affecting other users’ while still providing the versioning and workflow capabilities they need to ensure the reliability and integrity of their content-centrc application. As a result, users no longer have to move all of their assets outside of the system for testing, and then move them back into the system for fixes.

Let me know the update.

Thanx

I think you somehow missed what Lissa just wrote.

TeamTurbo is not going to be available shortly.

In addition to what Lissa says and John reiterated, TeamTurbo is not supported for TeamSite 6.x anyway (hence the "end-of-life") so you could only use it if you were planning on sticking with TS 5.5.2 (which is "end-of-life" next year too).

Yes, I understand that Turbo is no longer supported. While we are not looking to use the GUI that turbo provides we were simply (ha!) trying tofigure out how to more efficiently virtulaize our workareas through BEA WebLogic app servers. We have called in Interwoven consultants to help as well. Apparently a driver for our issue is the fact that it is an MVC architecture.

It will be very helpful if any of you can share your experience on how to get virtualization working for BEA WebLogic and TS6.

We are planning to upgrade TS6. We still haven't figure out how to preview dynamic content. Currently, we are using TeamSite 5.5.2 and WebLogic server as our app server. We did not use TeamTurbo... thus we never get the Preview in TeamSite working.

Thanks

stevekrys

Well... we haven't gone to TS 6 yet although we will. One of our developers is going to try and write a servlet that will help facilitate preview so we need only set up the proxy settings in iw.cfg. I'll let you know how this goes.

It's good to know that it is possible to get preview working. Let me know if your implementation works for you. Thanks.
