Configuring your Apache web server to invoke a CORBA server
struct HttpResponse {
long status; // HTTP status, OK etc.
boolean isCommit; // server intends to commit this request
NVList headers; // header array
OctetSequence_t data; // data buffer
};
interface ReqProcessor {
HttpResponse process(in HttpRequest req);
};
};
The process() method
The ReqProcessor IDL includes the process() method which your Apache web server
calls for internet requests. The web server passes the user's request as an argument to
the process() method. Basically, the input for the process() method is a request from a
browser: HttpRequest, and the output for the process() method is an html page
contained in: HttpResponse.
Configuring your Apache web server to invoke a CORBA server
Before an Apache web server can invoke a CORBA server, you must modify the lines
of code that pertain to the IIOP connector in the httpd.conf file. For detailed
information, go to Chapter 5, “Web server to web container connectivity.”

Connecting from Apache to a CORBA server
Apache IIOP configuration
The Apache IIOP connector has a set of configuration files that you must update with
web server cluster information. By default, these IIOP connector configuration files are
located in:
/var/domains//configurations/
/mos//conf
