How to balance a default context?

jcybulski Oct 29, 2009 2:03 PM

I am experimenting with JBoss-Cloud on Amazon's EC2, which uses mod_cluster for load balancing.

I have deployed Liferay under the context /liferay. However, I would like the load balancer to use the URL www.mycompany.com and not www.mycompany.com/liferay

Thus far, I've been unsuccessful at modifying the context withing JBoss AS 5.1 (ROOT.war, default context, etc..) and getting it to register and work with mod_cluster. Likewise, I've been unsuccessful trying to get HTTPD to do an "alias" that appends the /liferay to the default domain URL (a redirect/alias is highly undesirable, the preference is to not have the context visible at all in the URL).

Any suggestions?

By default, the ROOT context is excluded from mod_cluster via the excludedContext property within mod-cluster-jboss-beans.xml. To change this, remove ROOT from the comma delimited list.
You could also experiment with mod_rewrite to perform the url translation.

Thanks. That worked like a charm. They should give you a raise.
