Apache Considerations

When using the Apache HTTP Server to connect to your JADE applications from the Internet, consider the following.

• The JADE Web design considerations documented under "Connecting to JADE Applications from an Apache HTTP Server", earlier in this chapter.

• Only JadeInternetTCPIPConnection class TCP/IP communications are supported. This applies to all versions of mod_ jadehttp, regardless of the operating system.

• The security implications for mod_ jadehttp are those of the IIS jadehttp.dll. Access to JADE data from the Web server can be controlled by Apache security directives.

• Apache and the HTTP generally use UTF-8 as the encoding scheme for Unicode data on the Web. As mod_ jadehttp does not allow for this and passes the data directly to JADE, only ANSI data can be read or written to the JadeInternetTCPIPConnection object.

• As the JadeServer configuration directive that indicates details about the JADE application to which mod_ jadehttp is connected is not yet implemented, it is assumed that the value of this directive is as follows.
