16 Configuring Axis2/Java Applications on NonStop

Systems

This chapter provides information about configuring Axis2/Java applications on NonStop systems.
This chapter includes the following sections:

“NonStop Platform Configurations” (page 307)

“Axis2/Java Framework Configurations for NonStop Systems” (page 317)

NonStop Platform Configurations

On a NonStop system, an application developed using the Axis2/Java framework is deployed as
a web application under the NSJSP container. Thus, it inherits all the NSJSP properties and
configurations, and runs like any other NSJSP web application running on a NonStop system. This
section discusses the following tasks:

“Determining the Application Parameters” (page 307)

“Determining the Maximum Capacity of an NSJSP Instance” (page 307)

“Configuring iTP WebServer for Axis2/Java Applications” (page 308)

“Configuring NSJSP for Axis2/Java Applications” (page 312)

Determining the Application Parameters

You need to determine the following parameters for your application:

Average Response Time

Average Load

Maximum Load

For a unit response time, the number of active requests to the iTP WebServer is a maximum of its
static capacity during the average load conditions. During peak load conditions, the number of
active requests to the iTP WebServer is a maximum of its dynamic capacity.

For example,

If the average response time of your Axis2/Java application is 1 second and iTP WebServer is
configured to handle 100 requests statically and 50 requests dynamically, then during average
load conditions, the number of active requests to iTP WebServer can be a maximum of 100. During
peak load conditions, 50 more requests can be served dynamically and hence, the active requests
to the iTP WebServer can be a maximum of 150. Further requests are queued up and remain
inactive until started by httpd.

The other parameters, Average Load and Maximum Load, will help you decide the configuration
of the static and dynamic httpd processes of the iTP WebServer.

Determining the Maximum Capacity of an NSJSP Instance

Before configuring NSJSP parameters, you must determine the capacity of a single instance of
NSJSP. To determine the maximum load for a single instance of NSJSP, it is important to first
configure the relevant TS/MP and server parameters of NSJSP (of the single instance) to their
maximum limit in the following way:

1.

Set the value of Numstatic to 1. This limits the number of static instances of NSJSP to 1.

2.

Set the value of Maxservers to 1. This limits the number of NSJSP instances that can be
started to 1. This implies that TS/MP cannot start more than one instance of NSJSP.
