JBosss and Apache

[givargis]

Hi,
I've been tasked with getting JBoss and Apache running on separate machines as Apache will be the front end. All articles about JK2 talk about Tomact standalone, not embedded with JBoss. Are there any how-to documents about JK2 and JBoss 3.2.6? Is this even possible? Thanks in advance.

Have a look at

or

Thanks for the info, but the first link's page stops at step 6. Is there a way i can download the document?

Sorry, don't know where to find the full document.

In short, the missing part is that you need to configure a clusterwide id for your tomcat. This is done by adding jvmRoute="..." to the engine-tag in your tomcat.

e.g.:

Have a look at the documentation from apache.org (don't know a direct link). There is no difference if you start Tomcat within JBoss or as an external process. The configuration is similar in both cases.

Ok, the xml-part got lost by the forum ... and again

{Engine name="MainEngine" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="node3" }
...
{/Engine}

I fixed the wiki page.

Keep in mind that we strongly recommend using mod_jk1.2 instead
