Web application doesn't migrate in cluster mode

[ramy1989]

I installed JBoss EAP 6.4.0 on two different virtual machines:

1) Ubuntu Server 12.10 , IP=192.168.0.20

2) Ubuntu Server 12.10,  IP=192.168.0.23

Then on each machine I edited the standalone-ha.xml file in standalone/configuration and replaced all occurrences of 127.0.0.1 with 0.0.0.0, to allow other machines to connect to the JBoss server.

Then I run the server this way:

$ ./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -b 192.168.0.{20 | 23} -u 230.0.0.4 -Djboss.node.name=node{1 | 2}

I copied a distributable war file in standalone/deployment and I verified that the war file is executed in cluster mode: it says "received new cluster view" and I clearly saw the names of both nodes on the logs.

I then connected to each instance:

1) http://192.168.0.20:8080/MyApp

2) http://192.168.0.23:8080/MyApp

If I shutdown machine 1, I'm not able to get the web app's page on http://192.168.0.23:8080/MyApp and viceversa. But shouldn't the application be transfered on the other machine since they're on the same cluster?

No, you need to copy and deploy your application on all servers where you want them to be available regardless of whether the instances are clustered or not.

Or use domain mode, where deployment content is pushed where it needs to go
