General Parameters for Web Server Plug-Ins
Administration Guide D-11
QueryFromRequest
(Apache HTTP Server only)
OFF
When set to ON, specifies that the Apache plug-in use
(request_rec *)r->the request
to pass the query string to WebLogic Server. (For more
information, see your Apache documentation.) This behavior is
desirable in the following situations:
n When a Netscape version 4.x browser makes requests that
contain spaces in the query string
n If you are using Raven Apache 1.5.2 on HP
When set to OFF, the Apache plug-in uses
(request_rec *)r->args to pass the query string to
WebLogic Server.
MaxSkipTime
10 Valid only if DynamicServerList is set to OFF.
If a WebLogic Server listed in either the WebLogicCluster
parameter or a dynamic cluster list returned from WebLogic
Server fails, the failed server is marked as “bad” and the plug-in
attempts to connect to the next server in the list.
MaxSkips sets the amount of time after which the plug-in will
retry the server marked as “bad”. The plug-in attempts to
connect to a new server in the list each time a unique request is
received (that is, a request without a cookie).
DynamicServerList
ON When set to OFF, the plug-in ignores the dynamic cluster list
used for load balancing requests proxied from the plug-in and
only uses the static list specified with the WebLogicCluster
parameter. Normally this parameter should remain set to
ON.
There are some implications for setting this parameter to OFF:
n If one or more servers in the static list fails, the plug-in could
waste time trying to connect to a dead server, resulting in
decreased performance.
n If you add a new server to the cluster, the plug-in cannot
proxy requests to the new server unless you redefine this
parameter. WebLogic Server automatically adds new
servers to the dynamic server list when they become part of
the cluster.
