Servoy and Balancers

Hi, I wanted to ask if it’s possible to use the following configuration with Servoy:

Servoy Server Machine listening on 8080 (servoy.subnet.local) <= Apache webserver listening on 80 with proxy pass on Servoy Machine (servoy.local) <= clients

What we’re trying to do is to hide the original Servoy server machine in a not-accessible subnet with a ‘facade’ Apache server that will tunnel data streams onto the 8080 port, using mod_proxy.
Clients will download the jnlp file from the facade and communication should be transparently established with servoy.local instead of servoy.subnet.local.

My attempts failed so far: i downloaded successfully the jnlp file from servoy.local:80 but when I tried to start the application the download of the actual application failse, maybe because it tried to reach servoy.local:8080, which is closed, and the same should happen for the client, if it were possibile to download it…

The final architecture should even include balancers (that should work fine since the communication is encapsuled in http, am I right?).

Any clue?

PS. before you guys ask me, it was none of my idea to hide the servoy server machine, it’s what our client’s IT dept asked us to do, so that our application meets the company standards…

This can work just fine, but I think what is missing is that you have to override the jnlp codebase url on the admin pages.

If you set this, the specified url will end up in the jnlp’s.

Also check out Servoy Tano (you can enlist in the beta program). It offers some nice functionality for the load balancing stuff…

Thank you Paul, I’m going to set the pref right now.
