Java Application Server
integration: The GAS server can be fully integrated into any J2EE Servlet container using the GWC
dispatcher j2eedispatch . |
The supporting topic has been removed, as dispatcher j2eedispatch is no longer used. Please see Java Servlet Installation and Web Server Configuration topics in the Genero Application Server 2.30 User Guide. |
New monitoring information: The monitor has been revised to display information that is relevant to the new architecture. In addition to application-specific information, there are also statistics shown for the dispatchers and proxies. | See Monitor URL. |
New LOG system: The log format and categories have been adapted to the new architecture with log files created for each dispatcher, proxy, and DVM started. |
See LOG. |
The web services pool management has been enhanced to explicitly limit the number of DVMs that can be started for a specific web service. The Timeout configuration has changed to prevent the GWS proxy and DVMs from running indefinitely if the GAS dispatcher or the web server crashes. |
