My company is looking to set up a Sharepoint server for some of our internal users. We would like this to be accessible to external users using our current domain (www.companyname.com). The problem we are having is that www.companyname.com is set up using an IBM HTTP Server (basically Apache) and is based mostly around Java and Websphere. I was wondering if there was a plug-in available for Apache that would allow my to link up the Sharepoint server (running on IIS) with Apache, much like what is done with Websphere and Apache. Any help would be appreciated.
You could probably just use the generic HTTP reverse proxy support in Apache. If you use this in IHS to front-end sharepoint, it would not be supported by IBM and is technically in violation of the license.
If you receive IHS with an IBM product, it's only licensed and supported when used in direct support of the product it came with.

Trying to create a Mule project with support for multiple version endpoints. To begin with I have started with two API specification with same endpoints but with different version.
hello-world-v1.raml (version: 1, GET /hello)
hello-world-v2.raml (version: 2, GET /hello)
Then used these both RAML files to create Mule project. By default it created two Listeners on different port. But I want to start app in single server and port but go to flow based version of path e.g.
https://www.custom-greetings.com/api/v1/hello will server based on first RAML specification whereas
https://www.custom-greetings.com/api/v2/hello will server based on second RAML specification
The reason I want to have Mule project with both version is so that my client can use same domain instead of
https://www.custom-greetings-v1.com vs https://www.custom-greetings-v2.com
I am pretty sure there is efficient way to do this but not finding any related example or guidance.
Any help/pointer is appreciated.
Thanks.
If you are deploying to a standalone Mule server you can move the HTTP Listener configuration to a Mule Domain and share it with both applications. That way both listen to the same port but in different URI paths. This method can not be used in CloudHub nor Runtime Fabric deployments because they don't support domains.
Another alternative would be to combine manually both RAMLs into a single one and create a single application with a single HTTP Listener for both APIs. This alternative will be compatible with CloudHub and Runtime Fabric.
Yet another option would be to put a load balancer in front of both applications. For a standalone Mule installation you need to provide your own load balancer. CloudHub provides a feature called Dedicated Load Balancer to do this. Runtime Fabric uses Kubernetes ingress mechanism.
We're developing a cloud based web application for customer management. One of the main goals i the capability to connect to different local applications on the customer endpoint.
As example, we don't want to have a customer database in out application, the customer should be able to search within his local ERP system right away.
What we need is not much. Only a client on the customers server with access to the local SQL server as well as the COM model.
But as webdevelopers and mainly going with PHP the question came up, what technology we should use?
I've got two approaches in mind:
NodeJS
Lightweight, Javascript and with the Express and winole32 extension we should have everything we need. But the deployment and installation as a service seems to be a bit wacky.
C# .Net Web API
Also a good approach I guess since the client servers are allways windows. But is there a way without IIS?
Or do you have something completely different in mind? It should be very fast and compact. So its basically just a RESTservice that can be deployed with ease.
Thanks for your inputs and thoughts.

It is called OWIN and it is properly documented (web api self host is a good keyword) and works like a charm. Using that on various services to expose an API into the service.
I lead a web/mobile project and I still need to know the tools we will be using for development.
We have a 6 months access to IBM Bluemix, and its security check tools, CloudFoundry, and others may appear really useful.
However, we don't want to rely on a solution that would trap our project without any possibility of migration if needed.
I looked up on the internet how to export a project from Bluemix as a docker, with elements created from IBM. I didn't find anything relevant (I might be bad at googling, but all I can find is "how to export to Bluemix/how to work locally").
Does Bluemix allow to export the entire project onto another hoster, does it depend on the services we used in the project ?
Thank you in advance.
If you package your application in a container you can run it on any provider that supports Docker. That could be another cloud, in a local datacenter or on your own laptop.
If you are planning to use Bluemix services as part of that application then you will have two options if moving your application off Bluemix.
Keep using the services in Bluemix but connect to them remotely from wherever you're now hosting your appliaction. This will require internet connectivity and you'll have to hard code the service credentials in to your application (not good practice).
Migrate the services as well as the application. This will only be possible for the non-unique services IBM offer e.g. Redis, Mongo, Elasticsearch etc.. You'll need to refactor your application to accept the new provider of these services.
If your service/app is dockerized, and is being hosted as a container on Bluemix.
You can pull the container image of your service/app in your own docker enabled cloud or local environment. Following steps can be followed for the same:
install bluemix-container cli package https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/containers/container_cli_ov.html
do cf ic login using your bluemix credentials
check for your images using cf ic images command
pull the image in your environment using docker pull <image-registry-url>
run the container with required parameters using docker run
Hope it helps. Thanks.
I have deployed the apprtc (https://github.com/webrtc/apprtc), webrtc sample project from Google on my own GAE account. I found that developers have to their own TURN server to support NAT traversal and cannot use Google's TURN server.
Are there any other services that developers have to provide on their own in addition to TURN?
Are there free TURN servers to use?
In addition to TURN, one has to service the signaling server: https://github.com/webrtc/apprtc/tree/master/src/collider
I have an EJB accessed remotely from a Swing client as well as locally by servlet/JSP. I want to switch the packaging for my EJB from a EJB/WAR/EAR to a EJB/WAR since it is simpler to work with.
What do I mean by simpler? In Eclipse, for example, I can have a single project with my EJB/web classes rather than having a EJB + WAR + EAR project (My client is a separate project in Eclipse).
Is it possible to package a EJB in a WAR and have it be accessible remotely?
The intent of EJB-in-WAR was primarily to simplify packaging for local EJBs used by the WAR. However, I cannot find a restriction for remote EJBs packaged in a WAR even though there are restrictions on other technologies (specifically, entity beans and JAX-RPC endpoints are not allowed), which leads me to believe remote views are allowed in WARs from a specification perspective. I don't have broad knowledge of vendor implementations, but I have tested that it works on WebSphere Application Server.
According to the web profile and EJB 3.1 specs, Java EE web profile products are only required to provide EJB Lite, which doesn't support remote clients to EJBs.
But they can provide remote ejb client connection as a product optional component.
So if you want to package remote EJBs in a WAR you'll have to look for a Java EE web server that provides this service and be aware that the same behaviour isn't required in other Java EE 6 web servers.
