Update Problems 1.1.0 to 1.1.3

[j_ri]

Hello,

today I tried to upgrade from mod_cluster 1.1.0 to 1.1.3 and found several issues (my JBoss is an EAP 5.0.0) (old configuration was on OpenSUSE 11.2 new OpenSUSE 11.4):

1.) The new "mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml" seems to make problems. The only differences between the old and the new configurations are the "...modcluster..."-without "_" entries

e.g.:

${jboss.mod_cluster.proxyList,jboss.modcluster.proxyList:}

instead of

${jboss.mod_cluster.proxyList:}

with the the new "mod_cluster-jboss-beans.xml" the mod_cluster-manager doesn't show any available node.

If I put back the old 1.1.0 configuration (with the 1.1.3 jar) the webapplications are shown again in the mod_cluster-manger and work well (all, but the "/"-Root-Webapp; look at 2.)

2.) I removed "ROOT" from the exclusion list, because our root-Web-application is clusterable.

Unfortunately I can't access the root-context anymore if I use https.

http://my-server                    -- this works

https://my-server                   -- NOT working

http://my-server/anyapplication     -- this works

https://my-server/anyapplication    -- this works

Do you have any hints how to resolve these issues?

Tanks & best regards,

Jochen

Hi Jochen

1) You can just forget about the ${..} expressions and code it inside the XML if thats causing you problems. I dont really see how that could be a problem. What this expression ${jboss.mod_cluster.proxyList,jboss.modcluster.proxyList:} does is first look for the name with underscore, if its defined use it and we are done. If not, then use the value without the underscore _ and use it if its defined. If none are defined use the default value after the color -- which in this case is underfined as well, but you can easily put there your balancer's address.

2) There is a regression intrudeced by a fix for https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-220 fixed by https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-253 which will be in 1.1.4 -- stay tuned for the release.

Hello Rado,

thanks you very much.

So I stay with 1.1.0 and try it again after 1.1.4 is ready.

Best regards,

Jochen

Yap, so if you are using the ROOT context postpone the upgrade to 1.1.4.
