JBOSS 6.0 Final Architecture

[jboss_user_101]

I was wondering if you could help out a newbie to JBOSS. I am not new to systems and platforms, but to JBOSS. Searching around I cannot find any reference arch. or how-to's on JBOSS 6.0 Final release WRT tier architecture and configurations.

My question is, would the below be achievable? I have todate setup the MS NLB, Apache httpd 2.2.17 and JBOSS 6.0 final, but I need to pul it all together now and configure:

• apache load balancing to JBOSS 6.0 final (for example Step 3 of http://community.jboss.org/wiki/UsingModproxyWithJBoss doesn't seem accurate)
• jboss cluster partitions
• jboss to mysql as default (think I have this sorted).

Many thanks and happy to continue sharing my final config specs and steps here with all.

Forget about it, I have sucessfully deployed JBOSS 5.0.0 GA with this configuration - I guess JBOSS 6.0 Final is not so final then!!

Appreciate the feedback.

To answer your original question, yes, the tiered architecture described above is achievable.  As for your bullet points:

• While you can certainly use mox_proxy with JBoss AS, we recommend using mod_cluster instead.  JBoss AS6 includes built-in support for mod_cluster.  Details here: http://jboss.org/mod_cluster
• Creating JBoss cluster partitions is as simple as starting the server using the all profile.  You can group servers into logical partitions via the "-g" command line argument to the run.sh script.  Execute "run.sh -h" for details.
• Connecting JBoss AS to MySQL cluster is no more complicated than connecting to a single MySQL database.  http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/getting_started/v5/html/db.html#d0e1998

Now, regarding your followup post - what seems to be the problem?  If you were able to deploy fine to 5.0, what's preventing you from deploying to 6.0?
