Using the GAS Java dispatcher

A default Java™ dispatcher called java-j2eedispatch is configured by default to use the Genero Application Server.

The Genero Application Server can be deployed on any Java server supporting servlets (such as Tomcat, WebSphere^®, GlassFish or JBoss) and be able to use the java-j2eedispatch dispatcher.

Note: Make sure you are using a Java servlet container compatible with J2EE Servlet API v.3.0 or above.

The Java servlet dispatcher, java-j2eedispatch, is located in $FGLASDIR/war. It provides the same functionality as the other GAS dispatchers, see GAS Dispatchers.

URLs used to access the Java dispatcher depends on the port number configured for the Java server and the servlet name defined in the Java servlet deployment file (web.xml), but typically will have the following form:

http://host:port/java-j2eedispatch/ua/r/app_name

For example:

http://localhost:6394/java-j2eedispatch/ua/r/gwc-demo

Typically no configuration is necessary, unless you make changes to the default location of the Genero Application Server installation, for example the configuration file (default as.xcf). Then you will need to reconfigure and redeploy the new Java servlet configuration as detailed in the topics in this section:
