The HttpPartitionBean serves as the link between partitioning facility and HTTP partitioning facility applications. It registers the Application Server partitioning facility PartitionManager with the HttpPartitionManager. When using the Servlet API, the sample HttpPartitionBean shipped with WebSphere Extended Deployment need not be modified.
You can modify HttpPartitionBean to perform any function available through the servlet API. By using the EJB API, partitions and expressions may be specified, partitions may be added, and the HttpPartitionManager may be used as in the servlet API. This section describes in further detail, how this can be accomplished. In addition, it describes the internals of the HttpPartitionBean.
