Doesn't the "-h" switch invoke the help option? I think you need to specify the host address using either "-b" or "--host" (using the -h option will confirm this for you!).

Hope this helps,

Hi.

I have set upp JBoss with 5 diffrent instances. Maybe my way will help you out.

To make JBoss work with 2 instances you have to create two directories, JBoss0 and JBoss1, like {jboss-home}/server/jboss0/ and {jboss-home}/server/jboss1/.
In {jboss-home}/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml you have to enable the ServiceBindingManager. Now you have to copy the directories conf/ lib/ and db/ from the default directory in to both jboss0 and jboss1. Next step is to define the ports. This is done in {jboss-home}/docs/examples/binding-service/sample-bindings.xml. Two server configurations named jboss0 and jboss1 are given. The jboss0 configuration uses the default settings for the ports, while the jboss1 configuration adds 10000 to each port number. This will make it easy to add even more instances.

Now, to run you jbosses you have to start two terminal-consoles. Make sure you are standing in the correct directory, for instance 1 - {jboss-home}/server/jboss0 and write {jboss-home}/bin/run.sh -c jboss0. The same for instance no 2 in terminal 2. Make sure that the instances not are answering to the same ports.

Hope this will help.
Kindly

I also configured multiple servers like this(jboss0, jboss1,...). The only problem I still encounter is that I can't seem to get the configuration right for the SSL connector. When I start up a server (e.G. jboss0) without the binding manager, it works fine, but once I start it up using the binding manager(service-binding.xml) it, won't work anymore.

Anyone has a solution???? I already posted this problem a time ago but did't get a solution.

Thx in advance

I have a client who has recently (successfully) marketed a "county-based" application to many counties in a state, and now must solve the problem of scaling the the system to meet the new demands. There isn't enough time to rearchitect the application (to include a "county layer") prior to initial go-live, and buying new hardware for each instance of jboss / application is also not an option. The existing instances of the application run on jboss 3.0.7 in production.

I have four questions (plus one request).

1. Is it possible, reasonable and safe to run separate instances of the same application in different "instances" of jboss as described in this thread (jboss0, jboss1)? I "made it work" but can and should are so very different.

2. How many instances of an application might reasonably be deployed in this manner? (The ear for this dude is circa 35 megs.)

3. What variables / measures should be used to determine the threshold for a particular server? (How do I know when enough is too much?)

4. Do you have or know of any documentation about this topic outside of this wiki (which is Wunderbar! keine Frage!)? Simple is good.

Plus, if anyone has experience in this area, please let me know how many application instances and what version of jboss you used.

Thanks,

We've had 3 or 4 instances of JBoss running on a single machine, no problem. It depends more on your application behavior (ours were mostly idle) and memory (each used about 300MB, but we had about 1-2GB).

The trick is to create a script (using ant or whatever) which copies over different versions of the configuration that use different ports.

You can also pass in system settings on the command line (like with -Dhttp.port=8080) and put in the macro

${http.port}

I don't think I am doing this correctly. I am running Jboss-4.0.0. I cannot get this to work for one server. I do the following steps:

1. I create JBoss0 and JBoss1 under server
2. I then move, from the default server, lib, conf, and data.
3. I then go into the jboss-service.xml file in JBoss0 and I uncomment the ServiceBindingManager def:

 <mbean code="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager"
 name="jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager">
 <attribute name="ServerName">ports-01</attribute>
 <attribute name="StoreURL">file:/c:/java_env/jboss-4.0.0/docs/examples/binding-manager/sample-bindings.xml</attribute>
 <attribute name="StoreFactoryClassName">
 org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory
 </attribute>
 </mbean>

Hi,

I was having similar problems with using ServiceBinding Manager while migrating to JBoss 4.0.

In order to resolve the problem I had to copy the file bindingservice-plugin.jar
from the directory JBOSS_HOME/server/standard/lib
to the directory JBOSS_HOME/server//lib.

This plugin is included by default in the 'standard' configuration but not in the 'default' configuration. I assume that you are using the default configuration.

Cheers,

Piero

Yes, thanks, that did the trick.

Now, when I started up, it complained about not having a deploy directory. So, I copied over the directory, with everything in it, and got this error.
