Beginner problems...

Hi!

I've developed a single host web application, using JBoss/Tomcat and MySQL. It works pretty fine, but I want to cluster all this now.
I've installed MySQL on my second host and copied the whole JBoss/Tomcat directory from the first to the second host. If I use the second host as stand alone it works fine.
But: If I redo the installation and use a cleared database on my second node, I get the following exception if I try to request a file, because it doesn't find the entity beans:

javax.ejb.ObjectNotFoundException: No such entity!

This is what I've done to use clustering:
- I've used the 'all' server instead of the 'default' server
- I've checked the cluster-service.xml, so that it is DefaultPartition and all the other defaults
- I've modified XDoclet, so that the jboss.xml looks like this:


<ejb-name>bookshop/Item</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/bookshop/Item</jndi-name>
True
<cluster-config>
<partition-name>DefaultPartition</partition-name>
</cluster-config>


- I've used the following code to get the InitialContext:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1100");
InitialContext lContext = new InitialContext(p);

But all this doesn't help! My second host doesn't get the entity beans from the first host. It always doesn't find any entity.

I've installed a firewall and took a look at the log file, to check if both hosts communicate and they do: UDP Ports 1060, 1061, 1110, 1111, 1113, 1114, 45566
and also some TCP connections (1111, 1112).

I've tried to use farming for hot-deployment to check, if the communication is okay. Farming is working fine.

Is it possible that I need to use MySQL in a shared mode? If yes: How can I configure my entity beans that they use commit C?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Markus,
It looks like you've done everything ok. The only problem is that the current implementation of JBoss doesn't do the replication of the DB, so you'll have to share the same DB from both the server instances.
You'll simply have to modify the db config file of node 2 to refer to the MySQL instance on node 1.
In order to avoid having a single point of failure you'd have to use a clustered DB also.
I don't know to configure the commit option C, but the default should work fine for start.
Cheers,

Jaksa

Hi Jaksa,

thank you for your reply. It acknowledged what I was afraid of after reading a hundred postings in this forum.
No I'll have to look for a free DB that supports synchronous Master/Master replication...

Cheers,
Markus

Let us know if you find such a db
