Re: [Opaltoolkit-users] Making Opal return port 80 URLs

[Conrad H. <co...@cg...>]

Thank you for the information.

We do use our apache server to serve up other data as well, so I'd like 
to configure the Opal server to return an opal-specific URL.  Is 
changing "tomcat.url" in etc/opal.properties and updating the 
installation sufficient to do that?  I was always a little wary of 
changing that URL because I do not know whether it will affect just the 
returned URLs (pointing to results) or will also require changes to the 
Tomcat/Apache configuration files to match.  Right now, we use the 
default configuration where the returned URLs look like 
http://_server_:8080/appXXXXXXXXXX and the request URLs look like 
http://_server_/opal2/services/_service_.  I'd really like to keep the 
request URLs unchanged because we distribute an application that has 
those URLs hard-wired into code.

Thanks.

Conrad
