Publishing Rest Ws Provider on a Custom Port(s) in GBI

Requirement:

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

Solution:

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

• Go to the location...<AdeptiaInstallfolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/etc/jetty.
• Open jetty.xml file.
• Define a custom port by adding the following section:

<Item>
<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
<Set name="name">HttpConnectorB</Set>
<Set name="port">8081</Set>
<Set name="maxIdleTime">300000</Set>
<Set name="Acceptors">2</Set>
<Set name="statsOn">false</Set>
<Set name="reuseAddress">false</Set>
<Set name="confidentialPort"><SystemProperty name="abpm.webserver.https.port" default="8443"/></Set>
<Set name="requestBufferSize">99999</Set>
<Set name="responseBufferSize">99999</Set>
<Set name="requestHeaderSize">99999</Set>
<Set name="responseHeaderSize">99999</Set>
<Set name="useDirectBuffers">false</Set>
<Set name="lowResourcesConnections">20000</Set>
<Set name="lowResourcesMaxIdleTime">5000</Set>
</New>
</Item>

• Now, in the above code block, update the following parameters:

1. Update the value of the name parameter with a unique HTTP Connector name like <Set name="name">HttpConnectorD</Set>. By default, its value is "HttpConnectorB".

2. Set the custom port number in the port parameter. For example, in case you want to configure 5443 as a custom port, update the code block like

<Set name="port">5443</Set> 

• Save the file.

Changes in wsapi.xml file

• Go to the location.. <AdeptiaInstallfolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/etc/jetty/contexts.
• Open wsapi.xml file.
• Now, search for section "connectorNames" and un-comment it as shown below:

<Set name="connectorNames">
        <Array type="String">
            <Item>HttpConnectorB</Item>
        </Array>
</Set>

here, mention the HTTP Connector name (defined in the jetty.xml file) as shown below:-

<Item>HttpConnectorD</Item>  

• Save the file.

Once you have done the changes in both jetty.xml and wsapi.xml files, Restart the GBI Server.
