Hi,

I wish to load-balance my application on 2 JBoss nodes. This application use :
- some stateless sessions-beans
- NO statefull sessions-beans
- somes entities bean, with default commit mode (B)

I know I can do it with a clustered configuration BUT I' like to know if it'is also possible without clustering my application, just with mod_jk load-balancing :
- I've got an apache server in front of my JBoss servers, mod_jk connect to JBoss/Tomcat
- I use sticky HTTP sessions and don't need HTTP sessions replications

=> So, is it possible to run 2 JBoss instances, with same database, without clustering them?
=> Except HTTP sessions-replication, what are advantages of clustering in such a configuration?

My configuration :
- Apache 2.0 with mod_jk
- JBoss 3.2.7
- Oracle 9i
- Linux Debian Woody

Thanks in advance for responses.
