    mod_cluster 1.1.0 Beta1 with JBoss EAP 5.0.0

    j_ri

      Hello,

      I tried to get JBoss EAP 5.0.0 running together with mod_cluster 1.1.0 Beta1 on Windows XP but unfortunately I have no success.

      I followed the instructions in the quick start guide which results in the following error when I start a cluster node:

      09:25:15,078 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Instantiated: name=ModClusterService state=Described mode=On Demand requiredState=Installed
      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong arguments. new for target java.lang.reflect.Constructor expected=[org.jboss.modcluster.config.ModClusterConfig, org.jboss.modcluster.load.LoadBalanceFactorProviderFactory] actual=[org.jboss.modcluster.config.ha.HAModClusterConfig, org.jboss.modcluster.load.impl.DynamicLoadBalanceFactorProvider]
       at org.jboss.reflect.plugins.introspection.ReflectionUtils.handleErrors(ReflectionUtils.java:395)



      The I read further in the documentation "Configuring JBoss AS/Web" and changed my configuration as described in the paragraph "Clustered Mode", because this is what I actually want as behaviour. So I put delegateBeanName="HAModClusterService" in the Listener and HAModClusterService in the jboss-beans.xml.
      Now I get a different error:

      09:33:40,036 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=WebServer state=Create

      Does anybody have an idea what i've done wrong and how I manage to get it running?

      Thanks,

          First of all, the quick-start guide still reflects the latest stable release (1.0.2).

          In 1.1.0.Beta1, the AS configuration structure has changed somwehat.

           

          In general, the delegateBeanName referenced in your mod_cluster lifecycle listener defined in server.xml must match the name of the bean of type org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter in mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml.

           

          e.g.

          server.xml:

          {code:xml}<Listener className="org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter" delegateBeanName="ModClusterListener"/>{code}

          mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml:

          {code:xml}<bean name="ModClusterListener" class="org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter" mode="On Demand">

            <constructor>

              <parameter><inject bean="ModClusterService"/></parameter>

            </constructor>

          </bean>{code}

           

          As for the initial error you got - I've filed a jira:

          https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/MODCLUSTER-116

           

          In summary, ModClusterService contains 2 constructors containing 2 parameters - and sometimes the microcontainer gets confused about which one to use. This behavior is described in more details here:

          http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossmc/freezone/docs/2.0.x/userGuide/ch10s02.html

          To remove this ambiguity, you'll need to add explicit types to the constructor parameters, matching the types of the expected arguments.

          e.g.

          {code:xml}<bean name="ModClusterService" class="org.jboss.modcluster.ModClusterService" mode="On Demand">
            <annotation>@org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX(name="jboss.web:service=ModCluster",exposedInterface=org.jboss.modcluster.ModClusterServiceMBean.class)</annotation>
            <constructor>
              <parameter type="org.jboss.modcluster.config.ModClusterConfig"><inject bean="ModClusterConfig"/></parameter>
              <parameter type="org.jboss.modcluster.load.LoadBalanceFactorProvider"><inject bean="DynamicLoadBalanceFactorProvider"/></parameter>
            </constructor>
          </bean>{code}

           

          You indicated that you wish to use HAModClusterService instead of ModClusterService.

          To do this, simply change the name of the bean reference in ModClusterListener.

          e.g.

          {code:xml}<bean name="ModClusterListener" class="org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter" mode="On Demand">

            <constructor>

              <parameter><inject bean="HAModClusterService"/></parameter>

            </constructor>

          </bean>{code}

            Hello Paul,

             

            thanks for the answer. But unfortunately I still can't get the thing running.

             

            This is what I configured in server.xml:

             

            {code:xml}<Listener className="org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter" delegateBeanName="ModClusterListener"></Listener>{code}

             

            In mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml I did the following:

             

            first try:

             

            {code:xml}<bean name="ModClusterListener" class="org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter" mode="On Demand">
                <constructor>
                  <parameter><inject bean="ModClusterService"/></parameter>
                </constructor>
              </bean>{code}

             

            second try:

             

            {code:xml}<bean name="ModClusterListener" class="org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter" mode="On Demand">
                <constructor>
                  <parameter type="org.jboss.modcluster.ModClusterService"><inject bean="ModClusterService"/></parameter>
                </constructor>
              </bean>{code}

             

             

            while the ModClusterService was configured like that:

             

            {code:xml}<bean name="ModClusterService" class="org.jboss.modcluster.ModClusterService" mode="On Demand">
                <annotation>@org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX(name="jboss.web:service=ModCluster",exposedInterface=org.jboss.modcluster.ModClusterServiceMBean.class)</annotation>
                <constructor>
                  <parameter type="org.jboss.modcluster.config.ModClusterConfig"><inject bean="ModClusterConfig"></inject></parameter>
                  <parameter type="org.jboss.modcluster.load.LoadBalanceFactorProvider"><inject bean="DynamicLoadBalanceFactorProvider"></inject></parameter>
                </constructor>
              </bean>{code}

             

             

            This results to the following error message:

              The listener in your server.xml should be:

              {code:xml}

              <Listener className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.MicrocontainerIntegrationLifecycleListener"
                        delegateBeanName="ModClusterListener"/>{code}


              Use this with the ModClusterListener bean configuration from your "first try".  The parameter type indicated in your second try does not match the constructor signature of CatalinaEventHandlerAdapter.  Since there is only one constructor for this class, you don't need to define a parameter type.

                Hello,

                 

                sorry for not answering any more for a while.  I had other priorities;-(

                 

                Mean while I managed to get  version 1.1.0.CR1 working. I've used it on a littel test cluster for  about three weeks now. Unfortunately it is not stable. After my cluster  was running about 3 or 4 days, suddenly httpd just answers with  "object  not found --  error 404".

                If I restart Apache2  everything is fine again. There's not need  to restart the JBoss nodes.

                 

                Then today I wanted to  update to 1.1.0.CR2. And I think I found a bug:

                With the new  "mod_cluster.sar" my JBoss didn't start any more, because of this error:

                 

                DEPLOYMENTS  MISSING DEPENDENCIES:
                   Deployment "ModClusterListener" is missing the following dependencies:
                     Dependency "WebServer" (should be in state "Create", but is actually  in state "Configured")

                 

                 

                Then I tried to  remove

                 

                     <depends>WebServer</depends>

                 

                from  the bean

                 

                     <bean name="ModClusterListener" ....

                 

                and now CR2 is working!;-)

                 

                 

                And  this is somwhow obvious.

                On  http://www.jboss.org/mod_cluster/java/config.html is said that this  configuration should be done

                 

                <bean name="WebServer" class="org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatService"> 
                  <!-- ... -->
                  <depends>ModClusterListener</depends>
                  <!-- ... -->
                </bean>

                but then in the CR2 version of mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml the ModClusterListener bean depends on "WebServer". Isn't this a cyclic-refence?

                Thanks,
                Jochen

                  While the way you've configured the dependencies will work, it will not be the default setup in JBoss AS 6.0.0.M4 and beyond.

                  One of the changes in mod_cluster 1.1.0.CR2 was support for the reversal of dependency between the ModClusterListener and WebServer beans.

                  Starting with AS 6.0.0.M4 (this is already implemented in AS trunk), the ModClusterListener bean from mod_cluster.sar will depend on the WebServer bean in jbossweb., not the other way around.  This has a couple consequences:

                  1. mod_cluster will work out of the box.  There will no longer be any post-installation config changes (e.g. adding a dependency to jbossweb) necessary to get mod_cluster to work in with JBoss AS.  You'll be able to start a vanilla JBoss instance with -Djboss.mod_cluster.advertise=true or -Djboss.mod_cluster.proxyList=... and have instant mod_cluster support.

                  2. mod_cluster will now start *after* jbossweb.  It can be stopped, restarted, or even undeployed without affecting jbossweb.

                   

                  The docs need updating - that's on my to do list.

                    Ah, I see. Thank you.

                     

                     

                    Do you have an idea what could be the reason that mod_cluster works perfectly the whole day....but the next morning none of the applications is reachable and the mod_cluster-manager shows no available nodes?

                    After restarting Apache2 everything works fine again...until the next morning;-(

                     

                    I tried different OPTION settungs in my virtual host, but all I changed is the error message in the apache error log. After putting a "index.html" file in the "/srv/www/htdocs" folder I didn't get an error mesaage for indexing any more. Now I only get messages like

                     

                    [Fri Jun 11 07:32:12 2010] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/favicon.ico

                     

                    or

                     

                    [Fri Jun 11 07:48:24 2010] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/<application name>

                     

                    in the Apache2 log-files.

                    So it seems that Apache doesn't forward any more to the JBoss nodes but just tried to deliver plain files from its standard folder.

                     

                    In the log-files of my JBossAS instances I don't find any suspicious messages.

                     

                    I don't know what to try next to solve this behaviour.....

                      there should error messages in error_log before the "File does not exist:..."

                        I'll attach the logfile "error_log" from yesterday evening to this morning.

                         

                        See the error in line 921

                        [Mon Jun 14 08:36:52 2010] [error] [client 150.131.31.109] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/portal

                         

                        where "portal" is the name of one of our applications in the root "/" context of the JBoss cluster nodes.
