Service usage

Switch to a different version of the application server / JVM

• Stop the service
• Delete the my_appserv directory structure
• Use Service initialization to create the directory structure for the new versions.
• Start the service

Note: If you have made some modifications under my_appserv, e.g.:

• start/stop/watchdog script modifications
• application server files
• environment files
• etc.

remember to keep the modified files somewhere BEFORE deleting the my_appserv directory tree.

Note: Your applications and files are kept outside of my_appserv directory tree in My App Server default configuration. Thus removing my_appserv directory will not remove your data. Consider your changes if you have made modifications to the default configs.

Note: It is also possible that some applications are integrated with the application server and are storing data under its directory structure. Consider this BEFORE removing my_appserv directory tree.

Remember it is a backend server

This service accepts connections on a private interface only. Thus it can not be directly contacted by external hosts.

Typically a frontend web server ( Apache HTTPd ) is configured to pass the required requests to the backend.

The frontend might handle some of the requests that it receives on its own. E.g. requests for:

• static resources - HTML/CSS/JS/Image files
• CGI scripts
• SSI ( Server Side Includes )
• PHP files ( handled by mod_php )

and pass other requests to different backends. E.g certain parts of the URL space might be mapped to:

• JSP/Servlet engine - Tomcat which is configure to run via MyAppServer
• PHP-FPM backend providing specific PHP version support

See the section Servlet/filter mappings for an example on how to define the needed proxying rules .

It's a service suitable for production deployments

My App Server offers a production environment for hosting your services.

Development and testing should be done locally, not on this service.

See Restart Limits for some restrictions which apply.
