Configuring Apache Server to talk to JBoss EAP 5.1?

cxwells May 17, 2012 12:36 PM

We are moving applications from WebLogic to JBoss and we are having difficulty with the web server configuration. In WebLogic you have a proxy object and you can route traffic to the back-end with the following parameter:

WebLogic Cluster='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port

What is the parameter for JBoss to route traffic to a cluster of two servers?

It depends on which load balancing module you're using.
If you're using mod_cluster (and you have the appropriate server-side module installed) with mod_advertise, you won't need to configure anything.
http://docs.jboss.org/mod_cluster/1.2.0/html/java.properties.html#mcmp
To use mod_proxy w/mod_proxy_balancer:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html
If you're using mod_jk, you'll need to setup a workers.properties file.
