JBoss AS 7 JVM Route not defined in clustering

[lumia]

Hi

Now i have tried clustering for standalone application with AS7 and Apache 2.2. First i will explain what i did. First i run the standalone server on ip:192.168.111.19:8231. And following is the changes what i did in httpd.conf file

Listen 80

LoadModule slotmem_module modules/mod_slotmem.so

LoadModule manager_module modules/mod_manager.so

LoadModule proxy_cluster_module modules/mod_proxy_cluster.so

LoadModule advertise_module modules/mod_advertise.so

# Virtual hosts

Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Now following is the code which i changed in httpd-vhosts.conf file

Listen 192.168.111.19:6666

<VirtualHost 192.168.111.19:6666>

    <Location />

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 192.168.111.

    </Location>

    <Location /mod_cluster_manager>

        SetHandler mod_cluster-manager

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 192.168.111.

    </Location>

    KeepAliveTimeout 60

    MaxKeepAliveRequests 0

    ManagerBalancerName mycluster

    ServerAdvertise On

</VirtualHost>

Now when i start the server i cant get the advertise message and i cant get my application from following i.p:192.168.111.19/Demo/test.jsp. When i checked through :list-proxies command in jboss-cli.bat file then it shows no proxy. Then i add the proxy through the following command

[standalone@localhost:9999 subsystem=modcluster]:add-proxy(host=proxy_name,port=6666)

Proxy was added successfully. Then i can get the application from 192.168.111.19/Demo/test.jsp. Now when i monitor the mod-cluster-manager in my browser then i got the following screen.

So following are the problems:

• I cant get specific node name. So how can i get?
• Now in jboss-cli.bat file if i tried for :read-proxies-configuration command i get following output:

[standalone@localhost:20149 subsystem=modcluster]

:read-proxies-configuration

{    "outcome" => "success",  

      "result" => ["localhost:6666","balancer: [1]

       Name: mycluster Sticky: 1 [JSESSIONID]/[jsessionid]

      remove: 0 force: 0 Timeout: 0 Maxtry:

      1node: [1:1],Balancer: mycluster,

     JVMRoute: undefined,LBGroup: [],Host: 192.168.111.19,

    Port: 8159,Type: ajp,flushpackets: 0,flushwait: 10,

    ping: 10,smax: 65,ttl: 60,timeout: 0

   host: 1 [example.com]

   vhost: 1 node: 1host: 2 [localhost] vhost: 1

   node: 1host: 3 [default-host] vhost: 1 node: 1

   context: 1 [/Demo] vhost: 1 node: 1 status: 1"    ]

}

So here i cant get JVMRoute specifically. So what should i do?

And i cant get specific clustering. How clustering and load balancing is done in standalone mode.

Thanks in advance

mod_cluster should generate a route automatically on registering with the load-balancer.

You can set up JVM route yourself in web subsystem element with instance-id attribute.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1"... instance-id="{jvmroute}">

As Rado said, it should generate a UUID for the jvmroute when no jvmroute is specified, but a regression in 7.1.1 blocked this feature.

You can get the source of the 7.1.2 or the 7.2 branch and build to get the issue fixed (As I remembered this has been fixed, but I haven't tested 7.1.2 or 7.2 builds).

Setting the jvmroute in the web subsystem configue as explained by Rado is the workaround that works with 7.1.1 (have tested this one).
