Chapter 3 Virtual Router for TIBCO Administrator : Overview

Overview
In a private cloud, when you run a TIBCO Administrator instance, you do not know in advance, the address of the machine where it runs, unless you set the resource preferences in the rules.
VirtualRouter acts as a proxy between Web clients and instances of virtualized HTTP-enabled components, such as Web Applications and Web Services. By default, an instance of VirtualRouter runs alongside every Silver Fabric Broker in the same application server. VirtualRouter can also run externally on a separate application server. See the TIBCO Silver Fabric Installation Guide for information on installing and configuring external VirtualRouter components.
While using the Enabler with BusinessWorks, VirtualRouter matches incoming requests to relative URL patterns, as defined in each HTTP-enabled component, and forwards requests to Engines running the matching component. For example, consider a Web Application that, when run on a normal application server, runs with the context root /MyApp. When you create an HTTP-enabled component for the Web App, it is virtualized and run on one or more Engines. If your VirtualRouter runs at http://example:8000, you can access your component at http://example:8000/MyApp. The component is actually running on an Engine, in the Enabler specified in the component configuration, and requests are directed to that Engine.
