IBM® HTTP Server for Windows 2003 operating systems contains a
high-speed cache referred to as the Fast Response Cache Accelerator,
or cache accelerator. The Fast Response Cache Accelerator
is available on Windows 2003 operating systems
and AIX® platforms. However,
support to cache dynamic content is only available on Windows 2003 operating systems. You can enable
cache accelerator to cache static and dynamic content.
Before you begin
Restriction on using the fast response cache accelerator (FRCA) : The FRCA, which is based on the IBM Advanced Fast Path Architecture
(AFPA), is not supported on the Microsoft Windows Vista , Windows 2008, or any later Windows operating systems. IBM HTTP Server will fail to start if the FRCA
is enabled in the configuration file. This is a permanent restriction.
About this task
Enable cache accelerator for caching static content by
adding the following directives to the httpd.conf configuration
file, located in the IBM HTTP
Server conf directory:
- AfpaEnable
- AfpaCache on
- AfpaLogFile "app_server_root\IBMHttpServer\logs\afpalog"
V-ECLF
To enable cache accelerator for caching dynamic content, such
as servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, configure WebSphere® Application Server and IBM HTTP Server for distributed
platforms:
Procedure
- Configure WebSphere Application
Server to enable Fast Response Cache Accelerator. It is important
to follow all of the steps for every application server in the cluster.
Turn on servlet caching for each application
server that uses the cache accelerator.
- Configure an external cache group on the application
server:
- Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application
servers > server_name > Container services >
Dynamic cache service > External cache groups.
- Click New on the External cache group administrative
console page to define an external cache group named afpa for
each application server that uses the cache accelerator.
- In the External cache group field, type afpa
and apply the changes.
- Add a member to the group with an adapter bean name
of com.ibm.ws.cache.servlet.Afpa.
- Click Afpa > External cache group members.
- Click New on the External cache group members
administrative console page.
- In the AdapterBean name field, type com.ibm.ws.cache.servlet.Afpa.
- In the Address field, enter an unused port number.
- Add a cache policy in the cachespec.xml file
for the servlet or JSP file you want to cache. Add the following property
to the cache policy:
<property name="ExternalCache">afpa</property>
- Enable cache accelerator on IBM HTTP Server for
distributed platforms:
- Add the following directives to the end of the httpd.conf file:
- AfpaEnable
- AfpaCache on
- AfpaLogFile "app_server_root\IBMHttpServer\logs\afpalog"

已淘汰的特性: IBM HTTP Server 1.3.x -
LoadModule afpaplugin_module
app_server_root\bin\afpaplugin.dlldepfeat
- IBM HTTP Server 2.0 - LoadModule
afpaplugin_20_module app_server_root\bin\afpaplugin_20.dll
- AfpaPluginHost WAS_Hostname:port, where
WAS_Hostname is the host name of the application server and
port is the port you specified in the Address field while
configuring the external cache group member
The LoadModule directive loads the IBM HTTP Server
plug-in that connects the Fast Response Cache Accelerator to the WebSphere Application Server fragment cache. If multiple IBM HTTP Servers are routing requests to a
single application server, add the directives to the httpd.conf file for each of
these IBM HTTP Servers on distributed platforms. If one IBM HTTP Server is routing requests to a cluster of application servers, add the
AfpaPluginHost WAS_Hostname:port directive to the httpd.conf file
for each application server in the cluster. For example, if there are three application servers in
the cluster, add the following directives to the httpd.conf file:- LoadModule afpaplugin_module
app_server_root/bin/afpaplugin.dll
- AfpaPluginHost WAS1_Hostname:port1
- AfpaPluginHost WAS2_Hostname:port2
- AfpaPluginHost WAS3_Hostname:port3
