Step by step guide to setting up JBOSS 7 cluster on EC2 ???

[moco]

Help required :

Does anyone know of a step by step guide to provision a standalone cluster (standalone-ha.xml) cluster of jboss 7 servers on ec2.

I have the session data writing to s3 via s3_ping, but I am unable to get deployment of an application (war) file to replicate to the other nodes.

I am missing something basic, but for the life of me I cant figure it out.

Many thanks

What is the problem?

Do the servers find each other (look for the log line saying there are 2 members)?

Did you change the JGroups stack to use TCP?

We actually need to set this up in a domain model, within a vpc. THe service is likely to need to use an ELB infront of the nodes, and s3 (s3_ping) as the persistance management.

As another complication, autoscaling is required...

I have the domain ctrl up and running and applications get deployed to other nodes within the various server groups, but am stuck with the s3_ping and autoscaling considerations.. . programtically updating the domain.xml / host.xml

Any assistance greatfuly received.

Yes, S3_PING is the JGroups discovery protocol to be used in CR2 cloud. You will need to provide it with necessary configuration, here is a quick help: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JGroupsS3PING just make sure you use the AS7 format for configuring JGroups.

When it comes to autoscaling and domain, you should be just able to use a CLI script to add the host you need. Unfortunately, I dont think there is a quick cook-book yet.
