Publishing Web service providers to a custom port

You may want to publish a REST provider on a node other than the GUI node. You may have this requirement in both single node and multiple nodes (clustered) environment. To achieve this, Adeptia Suite equips you with a feature to define a custom port and then publish the provider on that port. Doing this, you can have different web service providers running on different nodes.

The following section explains how to add a custom port and publish a provider on that port.

Defining custom port in jetty.xml and wsapi.xml files

Changes in jetty.xml file

1. Go to ...<AdeptiaInstallfolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/etc/jetty location.
2. Open jetty.xml file.

3. Define a custom port by adding and updating the following section:
   

   <Call  name="addConnector">
        <Arg>
         <New id="HttpsConnectorB" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector">
         <Arg name="server"><Ref refid="Server" /></Arg>
         <Arg name="sslContextFactory"><Ref refid="sslContextFactory2" /></Arg>
               <Arg name="factories">
            <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ConnectionFactory">
              <Item>
                <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConnectionFactory">
                  <Arg name="config"><Ref refid="httpConfig" /></Arg>
                </New>
              </Item>
              <Item>
                <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.http2.server.HTTP2CServerConnectionFactory">
                  <Arg name="config"><Ref refid="httpConfig" /></Arg>
                </New>
              </Item>
            </Array>
         </Arg>
           <Set name="name">HttpsConnectorB</Set>
           <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="abpm.webserver.https.port" default="8443"/></Set>
          <Set name="idleTimeout"><Property name="solr.jetty.http.idleTimeout" default="120000"/></Set>
          <Set name="soLingerTime"><Property name="solr.jetty.http.soLingerTime" default="-1"/></Set>
          <Set name="acceptorPriorityDelta"><Property name="solr.jetty.http.acceptorPriorityDelta" default="0"/></Set>
          <Set name="acceptQueueSize"><Property name="solr.jetty.http.acceptQueueSize" default="0"/></Set>
          <Set name="reuseAddress">false</Set>
         </New>
       </Arg>
     </Call>

   
   

4. In the code block, update the following parameters:

   1. Update the value of New id for the id parameter in following block code:
      <New id="HttpsConnectorB" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector"> 

      By default, the value of New id is "HttpsConnectorB".

   2. Mention the same New id value in the following block code:
        <Set name="name">HttpsConnectorB</Set> 

   3. Set the port number in following block code:
      <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="abpm.webserver.https.port" default="8443"/></Set>   

5. Save the file.

Changes in wsapi.xml file

1. Mention new id for the id parameter in following block code

<New id="HttpsConnectorB" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector"> 
Bydefault, it is " HttpsConnectorB".

b) Mention the id (which is mentioned in the first step) in the following block code:-
  <Set name="name">HttpsConnectorB</Set> 

c) Mention port number in following block code:-
 <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="abpm.webserver.https.port" default="8443"/></Set>   

4. Save to file
5. Go to ...<AdeptiaSuiteInstallfolder>/AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc\jetty\contexts location.

6. Open the wsapi.xml file.
7. Define a custom port by adding and updating the following section:  

 <Set name="virtualHosts">
    <Array type="String">
      <Item>@HttpConnectorA</Item>
    </Array>
  </Set>

Mention id (which is defined in the jetty.xml file) in the following block code:-
  <Item>@HttpConnectorA</Item>  

8. Save the file

Once you have done the changes in both jetty.xml and wsapi.xml files, restart the Server.
The port will be visible in the Select Port drop-down list while creating or editing the REST Provider.

Select the port number other than the default port (ServerGUI port) while creating or editing a provider. You can publish only one port at a time.

Click Yes, Publish it to confirm.

Once published, a confirmation message is displayed.
