Hi,
This is regarding your question about IBMHttpServer on Machine A and WebSphere on machine B and you are calling application from machine B to WebServer on A.
I did this using WebSphere Application Server 5.0
I never worked with WebSPhere 3.5 or 4.0
but I think it should work.
Go to Machine A.
Over here let's consider Hostname for machine A is machine_Apache
http://machine_Apache Over here let's consider Hostname for machine B is machine_WAS
http://machine_WAS go to machine_Apache
Stop the WebSphere Application Server(WAS).
cd /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/config/cells
open Plugin-cfg.xml
find out the cluster section in which you will see the some Hostname entry.
Which is machine_apache or it's IPAddress.
Change it to machine_WAS or IPAddress of machine_WAS.
save the plugin-cfg.xml
now go to cd /usr/IBMHttpServer/bin
restart the apache.
./apachectl stop
./apachectl start
now go to browser and type following.
make sure that WAS is running on machine_WAS host.
Apache is running on machine_Apache.
http://machine_Apache/snoop if you see the output in the samepage, you will see the machine_WAS/server1 .
It means snoop is running on machine_WAS and webserver machine_Apache is calling it.
THat's it
you are done.
Don't say this is not working because I did this myself and I work on WebSPhere 5.0 in IBM
take care,
awkard
