Using two AS7 Nodes on one server, How to proxy them?

[techsjs2012]

I am using two AS7 Nodes on one server to test session replication and lean how to setup AS7.  I have both nodes running ok on my server but I am trying to find a FREE way to put a proxy infront of them.. Someone so if one goes down that other will get all the request.  My firm is using EAP6 which has mod_cluster in apache but does anyone know of any free what to do this?

Start Node1

./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.server.base.dir=../standalone_node2 -Djboss.server.config.dir=../standalone_node2/configuration/  -Djboss.node.name=node1

Start Node2

./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.server.base.dir=../standalone_node2 -Djboss.server.config.dir=../standalone_node2/configuration/ -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100 -Djboss.node.name=node2

You can still do clustering and all the other tricks with the free version, right?

Yes you can. I am trying to find a free way to proxy. Also if running in domain mode do I need apache to proxy

Domain mode & clustering don't have much in common, one is way of managment many server other is for high-avalibilty of applications...

read more about managment operating modes:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Operating+modes

As goes for mod_cluster, it is free, you can download it and use it http://www.jboss.org/mod_cluster

also you can use mod_proxy_ajp or mod_jk to work with AS7 without any problems.

also you can use any other proxying solutions out there (nginx, varnish, iis, lighttpd...), jboss functions as web server and you can proxy to it as you could to any web server.

and just for info, all stuff that is present in EAP is also avalibale in community, but you might need bit more work to put it all together.
