JBoss 3.0.6 Cluster Config with TCP

[jmacomber]

Hi All,

I currently have a setup of clustering with JBoss 3.0.4 which works but am attempting to update to JBoss 3.0.6 for the clustering fixes that are included. I am unable to use UDP multicast in the network I am working with though so need the TCP connection information instead.

I do own the documentation but the latest that has been released is the 3.0.5 and it appears things have changed since then. Specifically the cluster-service.xml has changed to have the PartitionConfig element now with the xml based stack config.

I made an attempt at writing out what I figured the XML would look like for the TCP based stack but it is not finding the other members. Could someone look at the XML here and tell me what I am doing wrong?

<....Snippet...>
<TCP start_port="7800" />
<TCPPING initial_hosts="AWEB1[7800]" port_range="5" timeout="3000"
num_initial_members="3" up_thread="true" down_thread="true"/>
<VERIFY_SUSPECT timeout="1500"
up_thread="false" down_thread="false" />
<pbcast.STABLE desired_avg_gossip="20000"
up_thread="false" down_thread="false" />
<pbcast.NAKACK gc_lag="100" retransmit_timeout="3000"
up_thread="true" down_thread="true" />
<pbcast.GMS join_timeout="5000" join_retry_timeout="2000"
shun="false" print_local_addr="false" down_thread="true" up_thread="true" />
<...End Snippet>

I assume you mean JavaGroups 3.0.4, not JBoss, because there is no JBoss 3.0.4 version.

1. On which machines are you running the nodes ? They need to be included in the TCPPING.initial_hosts list.

2. I sugest you use tcp.xml (shipped with the JavaGroups distribution) and modify it to conform to the cluster-service.xml format. Aso change the host names/ports.

3. Turn on full tracing to see what's going on.

Its works for me with this config. I got two instances running on the same box. The other instance has TCP start port as 8800 and localhost[7800] in the initial hosts.



<TCP start_port="7800"/>
<TCPPING initial_hosts="localhost[8800]" port_range="5" timeout="3000"
num_initial_members="3" up_thread="true" down_thread="true"/>
<VERIFY_SUSPECT timeout="1500" up_thread="false" down_thread="false" />
<pbcast.STABLE desired_avg_gossip="20000" up_thread="false" down_thread="false" />
<pbcast.NAKACK gc_lag="100" retransmit_timeout="3000" up_thread="true" down_thread="true" />
<pbcast.GMS join_timeout="5000" join_retry_timeout="2000" shun="false" print_local_addr="false" down_thread="true" up_thread="true" />



Hope it helps

Sorry, I'm wrong. Version 3.0.4 does exist (I got confused by the same JavaGroups version).

Hi Bill Gates, can you help me?
I fail to use UDP for my session replication. Can you give me some example of snipset of cluster-service.xml if I want to create communication for 3 servers?
Thanks advance
