can SAP WAS be used as an internet proxy?

28 Views

does SAP offer a proxy/reverse proxy component? the typical SAP deployment diagrams show an Application Gateway component in the Outer DMZ and the Portal/WAS in the Inner DMZ. Can I place SAP WAS in the Outer DMZ to handle http requests from the internet? or I need a 3rd party component for that, such as Apache or IIS?

I read the "How to configure the J2EE deployment descriptor.pdf" document that shows how to configure WAS to work as a reverse proxy, but the document is vague when it comes to this topic. The document says "the reverse proxy filtering mechanism modifies responses to HTTP requests that are transmitted via a proxy server". Does that mean I need another proxy server?
