Re: Summing up the Icebreak discussion

All I know is that I am running Renaissance on a test machine with IceBreak with no Apache server running anywhere at all.
There are no IBM Apache functions/programs in the stack at all that I can see. If Apache is being used, then it is well embedded and hidden - but I doubt it.'

The statement about front-ending IceBreak apps with Apache just tells me that they can run as IceBreak app behind an Apache server as an alternative to an IceBreak server, or they can link an Apache server to Icebreak as a remote proxy device or something like that. It doesn't mean that all IceBreak apps are running with Apache running the show on the front end.

I am sure they will correct me if I am wrong.

IceBreak does not use Apache as a front-end - I am not sure
where that assertion comes from.

The assertion came from Niels. My understanding is that he's the author. See the
following quotes:

12-30-2010 "Actually, we also use Apache to "frontend" icebreak apps, just for
the reason that apache have some cool rewrite and reroute features...."

1-4-2011 "And the fact that IceBreak is the ILE servlet container also
underlines the misunderstanding of the title of this Thread: "IceBreak as an
alternative to Apache" - Well is Tomcat an alternative to Apache? no - not
really. Typically you use Apache and tomcat very closely together. We also use
Apache and IceBreak closely together."

I am using Icebreak with Renaissance (and therefore all the underlying
CGIDEV2 procedures) without any Apache server in the equation at all.

What makes you think that? I haven't tried Icebreak myself. So I'm just going
on Niels' comments. Well, maybe I wonder if anyone in their right mind would
write their own HTTP server given that Apache runs everywhere. But that's just a
subconscious thought ;-)
