Configuring web applications to dispatch remote includes

You can configure web modules in an application as remote request dispatcher clients to dispatch include requests to resources across web modules that are in different Java™ virtual machines in a managed node environment through the standard request dispatcher.

Before you begin

You must have WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment installed to use remote request dispatcher function. You should also familiarize yourself the limitations of remote request dispatcher. See article, Remote request dispatcher considerations for details.

You can also configure this property when you install the application installation. See Installing enterprise application files with the console

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Request dispatcher properties.
  2. Select Allow dispatching includes to remote resources.

Results

What to do next

You must enable remote request dispatcher on both the remote server and local server to use remote request dispatcher. If you have not yet enabled remote request dispatcher on the remote server that includes the resource that you want to include, see article, Configuring web applications to service remote includes.
