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.
