2.4 Editing the Servlet and Server URL

There are two types of URLs required by the 'Server Status' page in Enterprise Manager:

Repository Servlet URL:
For 'Servlet with embedded report engine' and 'Servlet with server clustering' options on the 'Server Configuration' page.

Server URL:
For 'RMI server' and 'CORBA server' options on the 'Server Configuration' page.

 

Repository Servlet URL sets the base URL for resource lookup in the repository (User Portal). This URL is used to form requests that are sent to the server as a result of Portal actions.

The form of the 'Repository Servlet URL' is

http://{machine}:{port}/{webapp}/{URLpattern}

For example:

http://localhost:8080/sree/Reports

The cluster.default­Proxy property speci­fies a default for use when the 'Repository Servlet URL' is omit­ted.

For most application servers, the URL can be relative (e.g., “/sree/Reports”) or blank, so the servlet builds its own URL. However, some application servers may not return the correct URL to the servlet. In this case, the 'Repository Servlet URL' property must be used to supply the correct URL.

Generally, the {URLpattern} should match the pattern specified for the Repository Servlet in the web.xml file. See Setting the Servlet URL Pattern for more details.

Server URL refers to the binding name that is used to bind the report repository object to the RMI registry or the CORBA name service (depending on whether you are using RMI or CORBA). There are several formats for the URL, which allows a great deal of flexibility regarding the naming and binding of the report repository. The format is as follows:

//[server-name]:[port-number]/[binding name]

The server name is required. The port number is optional. If the port number is not specified, the default is 1099 for RMI, and 1050 for CORBA. The binding name is optional. If not specified, the default for both RMI and CORBA is RepletRepository.
