Webserver Plugin Manual

    Introduction

    This document describes the functionality provided by the Webserver plugin.

    See the XL Deploy Reference Manual for background information on XL Deploy and deployment concepts.

    Overview

    The webserver-plugin is a XL Deploy plugin that supports deployment of web content and webserver configuration to a webserver.

    Features

    • Supports deployment to Apache and IHS webservers.
    • Deploys and undeploys webserver artifacts:
      • Web content (HTML pages, images, etc.)
      • Virtual host configuration
      • Any configuration fragment
    • Supports starting, stopping and restarting of webservers as control tasks.

    Requirements

    • XL Deploy requirements

      • XL Deploy: version 4.0+
      • Other XL Deploy Plugins: None
    • Infrastructural requirements

      • User credentials for accessing the webserver executables on the host running the webserver.

    Usage

    The following table describes which deployable/container combinations are possible.

    Deployable vs. Container table

    Deployable Container Generated deployed
    www.WebContent www.ApacheHttpdServer www.PublishedWebContent
    www.ApacheVirtualHostSpec www.ApacheHttpdServer www.ApacheVirtualHost
    www.ApacheConfFragmentSpec www.ApacheHttpdServer www.ApacheConfFragment

    The following table describes the effect a deployed has on it's container.

    Deployed Actions Table

    Deployed Actions performed for operations
      Create Destroy Modify
    www.PublishedWebContent
    • Create target path on webserver, if needed
    • Copy web content to target path on webserver
    • Delete web content from host
    • Delete existing web content from webserver
    • Copy modified web content to target path on webserver
    www.ApacheVirtualHost
    • Copy virtual host configuration to webserver
    • Delete virtual host configuration from webserver
    • Delete virtual host configuration from webserver
    • Copy new virtual host configuration to webserver
    www.ApacheConfFragment
    • Copy configuration fragment to webserver
    • Delete configuration fragment from webserver
    • Delete configuration fragment from webserver
    • Copy new configuration fragment to webserver

    Using www.ApacheVirtualHost

    The following is a manifest snippet that shows how web content and a virtual host can be included in a deployment package. The web content CI refers to a folder, html, included in the deployment package.

    <udm.DeploymentPackage version="2.0" application="PetClinic-ear" >
        <jee.Ear name="PetClinic" file="PetClinic-2.0.ear" />
        <www.WebContent name="PetClnic-html" file="html" />
        <www.ApacheVirtualHostSpec name="PetClinic-vh">
            <host>*</host>
            <port>8080</port>
        </www.ApacheVirtualHostSpec>
    </udm.DeploymentPackage>
    

    Using www.ApacheConfFragment

    Defining a new fragment to deploy to the Apache configuration takes two steps:

    1. Defining the type of configuration fragment and its properties
    2. Supplying a template for the configuration fragment implementation, per default the script searches for DEPLOYIT_HOME/ext/www/apache/${deployed.type}.conf.ftl.

    Example:

    1. Define an ApacheProxyPassSetting type in DEPLOYIT_HOME/ext/synthetic.xml :
       <type type="www.ApacheProxyPassSetting" extends="www.ApacheConfFragment" deployable-type="www.ApacheProxyPassSpec">
      <generate-deployable type="www.ApacheProxyPassSpec" extends="generic.Resource" />
      <property name="from" />
      <property name="to" />
      <property name="options" required="false" default="" />
      <property name="reverse" kind="boolean" required="false" default="false" />
      </type>
    2. Create a www.ApacheProxyPassSetting.conf.ftl in DEPLOYIT_HOME/ext/www/apache:
        --- start www.ApacheProxyPassSetting.conf.ftl ---
      ProxyPass ${deployed.from} ${deployed.to} <#if (deployed.options?has_content)>${deployed.options}</#if>
      <#if (deployed.reverse)>
      ProxyPassReverse ${deployed.from} ${deployed.to}
      </#if>
      --- end www.ApacheProxyPassSetting.conf.ftl ---
