--We have 4 WLS Servers with 4 JVMs on each.

--We have created a virtual IP address that we will add to our Jet Nexus Load balancer to redirect users across our 16 JVMs

--When users browse to http://vip_address/jde/owhtml we want this to "balance" out to one of the actual server:port/jde/owhtml and i would have added this into the HTTPD.conf in was for a redirect.

--Now in Websphere we would have added in something on the HTTP.conf to "redirect" any request to the default port

Question is, with WLS how do i acheieve this as we dont have a HTTPD.conf on our WLS webserver!!?

Web RHEL, WLS 10.3. TR 9.1.3.0, Appls 9.1, Oracle DB Unix
 
What do you mean "We have 4 WLS Servers with 4 JVMs on each"?
Do you have 4 Managed Instance per WLS?
 
You will most likely have to integrate WebLogic with Oracle's WebTier Utilities.
 
Hi Bruno, Yes we have 4 managed instances on each of or 4 Web Logic Servers.
 
So you don't need any http config modification, just round robin the request to the host1:9001, host1:9002, host2:9001 etc...

I have done this with ZEN Load Balancer but I'm pretty sure you can do this with your LB too.
 
we want to provide users with a URL like http://myjdeprod.com and this will resolve to 10.x.x.x which in the LB will then redirect to 10.x.x.1 or 10.x.x.2 but because its on the "default" port we must need to put somethingin the httpd.conf to ensure that http traffic coming in on the blank (default) port get "re-directed" to the/jde/e1mnu.maf.
 
As Jeremy said, you have to integrate Weblogic with Oracle Web Tiers utilities. This will install an Oracle HTTP Server.
You can find useful information to implement this in the attached document.
 
OK thanks. i suspect through my LB and 4 WLS x 4 JVMs i can acheive LBing if i accept that the URL given to users will need to contain the "port/jde/e1menu.maf" i.e

http://myjdepd:9002/jde/e1menu.maf

however if i wanted to implement http://myjdepd to "disguise" the port and then LB i would need to put an Oracle HTTP server in place via installing "Oracle Web Tiers utilities"

Oh well http://myjdepd:9002/jde/e1menu.maf it is!

p.s is Oracle Web Tiers utilities a free product if you are licensed for WLS or is there a license implication?
 
As Bruno stated - look into Zen Loadbalancer.

Its "free" and open-source :

http://www.zenloadbalancer.com/

After I wrote a whitepaper extolling the virtues of Zen last year, many customers are using this instead of other hardware-based solutions. This would be a simple implementation for your implementation and the user would end up with a "masked" URL that wouldn't have a port showing. Much better !

Web Tier Utilities is certainly NOT a "free" product - if you check the Oracle Technology Pricing guide, the cost for Web Tier Utilities is $100 per named user or $5000 per processor. Oracle Technology Foundation for JDE does cover Web Tier Utilities I believe.
