Beas has a integrated complete HTTP Server
This allows a simple installation and usage of WEB applications
Terminal 2.1, WebConfigurator and all internal services are compatible only to internal HTTP Server
Example of use see WEB Server
Advantages:
- Fast, because no additional interfaces are required
- Simple to use
- Fully integrated
Without use of a Proxy server there are following limitations
- Only HTTP, no HTTPS
- Can only transmit the images one after another instead of parallel
In general, the use of the internal WEB server is recommended.
Without additional services this is completely sufficient services at internal use or for presentation.
But a Proxy-server is required if a public access is required or larger image file is transmitted. The setup for this is very simple.
Display of different possibilities
Only internal beas WEB Server
The client communicates directly with beas AddOn, because this provides the HTTP Server at the same time.
Because the interface can be renounced, following will change:
a) Setup and support of Apache HTTP Server are not required
b) Faster processing of Inquiries
But no HTTPS is available
Good for intranet solution or presentation
Apache as Proxi Server
The HTTPS protocol has to be used if an internet access is required. The apache HTTP server be used. This routes the HTTPS inquiries to Beas http and application server using HTTP
It is possible integrate this server with apache to achieve server the pages using https instead of the standard http. In this way you'll get another additional benefit: SPEED and Multithread for all static content as images.
Edit your apache configuration and load the proxy module Replace the yellow area with correct ip adress and port.
# Open http.conf and uncomment this line: # LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
Edit your apache virtualhosts's ssl configuration and set this settings (delete blue text): DocumentRoot "c:/program files(x86)/beas software/beas/httpserver" # <= this is the root path for you ssl web server <Directory /> AllowOverride none Require all granted # <= be sure we allow serve content from this folder </Directory>
ProxyPass "/beasweb/static" ! # <= exclude static content ProxyPassReverse "/beasweb/static" ! ProxyPass /beasweb http://localhost:10002/beasweb # <= set the right server:port ProxyPassReverse /beasweb http://localhost:10002/beasweb
# If your apache server has access to the folder where your BitmapPath is, then you can do an Alias to improve the speed even more # but you need a copy from all pictures in the apache server folder ProxyPass /BitmapPath http://localhost:10002/BitmapPath
ProxyPassReverse /BitmapPath http://localhost:10002/BitmapPath
<Location "/productConfigurator/exec"> ProxyPass "http://localhost:10002/productConfigurator/exec" ProxyPassReverse "http://localhost:10002/productConfigurator/exec" </Location> #############################################################++ |
Beas can be started directly as HTTP Server For this in the directory c:/program files(x86)/beas software/beas start beas with the parameter /httpserver=[port]
Example:
beas.exe /httpserer=8080 user=manager pwd=manager database=training
Beas can now be used normally. But the HTTP server runs in the background and beas can be addressed directly. |
