multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
Hi. I've finally got Apache load balancing with Tomcat, but want to provide redundancy to the Apache instance, is there a way to do this so if one goes down the second one takes over seamlessly / works concurrently ?

Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
Pete, For redundancy in apache the following options are open to you : 1) Use a http sprayer in front of the apache webservers 2) Use a load balancing software such as Stonebeat Webcluster 3) Manual failover. This is where you have two instances of apache configured and running using the same ip, but only have one of the up. When your primary node fails down its interface and up the secondary. John Hi.

Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
Hi John. Investigating cost of point 2. For point 3, I'd assume that all users would then lose their sessions? I'd be after sticky sessions, so I guess I'd need memory-memory replication between the two apache's, is this possible? Tx. Pete.

Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
Pete, Unfortuantly I haven't come accross memory-memory replication between two apaches as I've always run them on seperate machines and took the hit on the loss of sessions, better to loose a session than a service.

If you're clustering multiple Tomcats instances with replicated sessions on different machines behind multiple Apache instances on different machines, if one of the Apache instances dies you won't lose any sessions as your Tomcat instances have not been affected. With TC 5, you don't even need to use sticky sessions if you're using session replication, but I would recommend it anyway. -Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
David, Problem with using the Tomcat 5 session replication, this 3rd party app cannot be clustered that way, it fails. Therefore my only choice is sticky sessions. Pete.

Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
does it fail because of placing objects in the session which lack the Serializable interface?

Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
yup, but the app developers say they will address this issue at a future point. Pete.

Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat
since you haven't addressed it yet, my recommendation is that you use the java.io.Externilizable interface instead, there is more room for serialization optimization in there Filip - Original Message - From: Pete Stokes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 10:02 AM Subject: Re: multiple apache instances load balancing tomcat yup, but the app developers say they will address this issue at a future point.
