Re: [iText-questions] iText behind a CSS / Load Balancer

[Jeff Merino-Ott]

I was curious if anyone else had this issue, that's all.  I imagine it's something to do with it being a servlet, but I read that itext could be clustered.  I more or less wanted to verify that and see if anyone had any experiences with it; or perhaps the same issue that maybe they could help out with.

Subject: [iText-questions] iText behind a CSS / Load Balancer


I have iText fully working (using 1.2 right now).  It's worked great for
quite some time.
However, recently we have put our web site behind a Cisco CSS which load
balances the machines (but also maintains sticky session state.  Once you
hit on node, you stay with that node).  We also have session persistence
turned on.

The problem I have now is that when I go to the generic url, i.e.
www.foo.com/itextpdf, it times out and displays nothing.
If I specifically go to one of the machines, i.e. foo1.foo.com/itextpdf, it
works.

Is there something I need to do differently to allow itext to work in this
cluster environment?

Currently, I an using the servlet to output via memory.  I write nothing to
disk.

Thanks,
  Jeff
