Preview JSP using iwproxy?

syim

We are using TeamSite 6.1 on Solaris. According to the TeamSite Admin Guide 6.1 for UNIX (page 113), we can configure TeamSite to use different Web servers for different workarea or different types of content. The example given in the Admin Guide is showing how to change setting in iw.cfg under [iwproxy_preconnect_remap] to allow CGIs in one workarea be served by a different web server. May I know if this will work for JSP files as well?

For example, I have a index.jsp file in the Workarea say "/iw-mount/default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1". I want the index.jsp preview be redirected to http://www.test.com/index.jsp. Should the changes in iw.cfg like followings?

[iwproxy_preconnct_remap]
_regex=^/iw-mount/default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1/(.*)\.jsp$=http:\\www.test.com\$1.jsp

I made the change to the iw.cfg and reset the TeamSite server, however, when I click on the jsp file for preview, the URL stays on the TeamSite server. The remapping deosn't see to work at all. Is there any step missing here?

Thanks,
Susan

I would make the following changes, and see what happens:

[iwproxy_preconnct_remap]
_regex=^/iw-mount/default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1/(.*)\.jsp$=http:\\www.test.com\$1.jsp

[iwproxy_preconnect_remap]
_regex=^/iw-mount/default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1/(.*)\.jsp$=http://www.test.com/$1.jsp

Current project: TS 5.5.2/6.1 W2K

Assuming your problem was not one of the typos Dwyane pointed out, can you restart
iwproxy in debug mode ?

just kill iwproxy
and then run it from command line

iwproxy -d

read a lot.

It doesn't seem to work. When I click on the index.jsp file, the URL showing on the preview window is indicated as http://<teamsitehost>/iw-mount/default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1/index.jsp

This URL stays the same as the [iwproxy_preconnect_remap] does not have any remapping being specified.

This URL stays the same as the [iwproxy_preconnect_remap] does not have any remapping being specified.

That is as-designed behavior. The URL remains the same as far as the browser is concerned - the proxy makes the request on your behalf to the other web server, and then sends the content back to the browser. The user shouldn't even be aware that a second server was involved.

Thanks. The remapping for JSP files is working.

I got the remapping working; however, I notice the VisualPreview is no longer available. May I know if configuring TeamSite to use a different web server in [iwproxy_preconnect_remap] will cause VisualPreview not available?

Thanks

You need to configure a double proxy entry.

Have a read of

Would this apply to TeamSite 6.1 or 6.5? SCE is for TeamSite 5.x, right?

Thanks

I have followed the articles and tried out. The VisualPreview toolbar does show... Thanks so much for the help.

However, I notice some of the functions (such as New Form and Import) on the VisualPreivew toolbar do not work. Wonder if this is because something is missing from the iwproxy remap?

Thanks

Johnny

Note entirely sure. I never tried using those before.

Can you confirm that it is only a double remapped file that has those entries greyed out?

IE
Does the file have the right permissions, templating extended attributes, etc etc?

Do other files in the same workarea that no not use the proxy mapping work?

Do the buttons appear when you remove all proxy entries for those files, allowing the proxy to display the file on the first run through the web server?

Thanks for the information. The problem was caused by incorrect file permission in the folder. After correct the file permission, those links on VisualPreview are working fine.

Thanks
