Advanced configuration

OpenWayback configuration can, broadly, be divided into two categories:

Configuring indexes

I.e. how OpenWayback goes from an URL being requested and to serving up either a list of matches or the actual content captured for that URL. The topic discussed in the basic configuration are mostly related to this.

Additional topics on this are:

• Configuring ZipNumCluster
• Configuring a remote ResourceStore

Configuring access point

OpenWayback uses access points to handle incoming request. There can be multiple access points each with a different context (url prefix) or even operating on different ports (Tomcat needs to be configured accordingly).

By default only the standard AccessPoint handler is enabled. It performs the basic wayback functionality that you are probably already familiar with.

The behavior of the standard AccessPoint can however be modified by specifing renderers and parsers

Alternative and additional access point configurations are provided in OpenWayback for things like Memento support, proxy mode and more. It is also possible to add your own request handler if you so choose. This is best done via a WAR overlay (How to create a WAR overlay)
