Third Party Systems

Jahia4System.gif J2EE Application Server Databases Web Server - URL Rewriting

Jahia relies on several third party systems:

  • a Servlet container (by default Apache Tomcat - However Jahia was developed from a very vendor-neutral manner and can be used with other J2EE servers)
  • a Database (standard JDBC connection - scripts are already provided with most of the existing free or commercial relational databases)
  • an access to the File System (Jahia stores all the large texts or the configuration files directly on the file system

Other systems are optional such as:

  • a LDAP server for single sign-on purpose(Jahia supports LDAP connections for users and groups )
  • a front-end web server (typically an Apache Web server to be able to use other technology than Java (mod_perl; mod_php;..) and to be able to dynamically rewrite the Jahia urls (urls simplification with mod_jk and mod_rewrite))
