Switching to your own web server

By default, all REST queries follow to the local address: http://localhost:9091/EchoApp

The invocations of REST methods look as follows then:

and so on.

This happens because the appKey=defaultApp parameter is sent when connection to the WCS server, and the default app for this key is this URL: http://localhost:9091/EchoApp

 


 To change these settings, enter to the command line interface of the WCS server core via SSH:

ssh -p 2001 admin@localhost

Use the password you have specified when installing WCS.

The standard password is: admin

Upon successful authorization, WCS creates a command line:

%

You can execute the show apps command to see the current applications:

%show apps

Or enter the help command to display the list of available commands:

%help

Then, we create our own REST URL. It is created using the add app command.

Suppose, we allocated the following address on the web server for REST methods:

and so on.

So we configure this as follows:

%add app myApp myAppKey "http://mywebserver.com/rest"


This command creates a new URL, http://mywebserver.com/rest, and assigns this URL for usage if a client sent the appKey=’myAppKey’ during connection.

Therefore, if the newly created myAppKey is specified while creating the connection, the control is passed to the assigned URL

Flashphoner.createSession({appKey:’myAppKey’...});
