Setting up Clustering

[germonday]

Hello,

I've followed the documentation on configuring JBoss and the different nodes to use clustering and the load balancer. I have the load balancer set up on one machine. I run JBoss on 2 different machines and they both recognise each other. These are node1 and node2. I then start my application and it runs fine. Note the appplication, load balancer and node1 are running on the same machine. When I stop node1 I expect node2 to take over but instead the application just fails.

Are there any common areas where I may be going wrong or has anyone come accross this before?

Thanks very much,

Ger

Are you directing your application requests to the load balancer? If not, you need to do this.

I may not be. In mod-jk.conf I've set JkMount /* loadbalancer. Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,

Ger

I'm just noting that if you're running mod_jk and node1 on the same machine, you need to direct your application requests to mod_jk, not to node1. So if mod_jk is running on port 80 and node1 on port 8080, you need to direct your application requests to port 80, not 8080.
