The WebLogic Server software suite includes a web server, suitable for processing HTTP requests for TeamConnect pages. However, if you would like your users to be able to access TeamConnect through your company's official URL (for example, http://www.yourcompany.com/TeamConnect/), you need to set up a plug-in for your company's web server to proxy the appropriate HTTP requests to WebLogic.

Also, if you have set up a cluster of managed servers, you must set up a proxy to route the client requests to the appropriate managed servers. If you do not set up a cluster proxy, you cannot take advantage of the benefits of clustering (load balancing, failover, and so on).

Oracle provides plug-ins for Microsoft IIS, as well as Apache and Sun Java System Web Server, which enable the web server to proxy HTTP requests to WebLogic. Many configuration options for these plug-ins can be found in the WebLogic Server Administration Guide.
