How to utilize web.xml and custom servlet to create dual URL
Hi,
I have a customer requesting the ability to (running Pega 7.2.1) create a second application in their existing production environment and have each app use only one node on each application server (i.e. running a loadbalancer, two application server (two nodes on each environment) with their new app pointing to a private URL for their employees only and the other app pointing to their existing public URL for their customers. Can this be done using a custom servlet and editing web.xml? We know we have to make changes to their loadbalancer for network/connectivity side of things but how can we make this work in Pega?
Thanks

You can define two servlets in web.xml - /PRServletInternal and /PRServletExternal and configure loadbalancer to route traffic to one of the two servlets based on the IP table or something that identifies users with internal IPs vs external IPs.

Thanks for the solution, I will pass this along to the customer just in case they can't figure this out on their own.

Hi Dheev, is it Mandatory to have PRServlet in the name of a servlet, or we can define servlets of our own naming conventions.

You can use your own naming conventions as PRServlet is not required in the name. Also, you don't have to deploy with context "/prweb" either.
