Setting up a multi container environment like with Oracle iA

slotties Feb 15, 2007 4:26 AM

Hi,

I was trying to set up multiple jboss instances to simulate a multi-container-environment like the Oracle iAS provides. I just found this wiki page: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ConfiguringMultipleJBossInstancesOnOneMachine and wondered if this is the only way to run multiple jboss instances on a single machine.
As far as I know the Oracle iAS has an apache in front of the containers and simply acts like a port-forwarder since each container has completely different ports. If I want the same result, do I need to configure an apache as a port-forwarder myself or should I better use the way told in the wiki-link?

Thanks,
Stefan

You have to follow the wiki instructions.

To run multiple instances on the same machine, you need to ensure that the instances don't try to bind services to the same port on the same IP address. To do that you have to ensure either that:

1) The different AS instances bind all services bind to different IP addresses.
2) Each AS instance picks different ports for each service.

The wiki describes how to implement either 1 or 2.
