I'm working with a University that wants to implement an
application on Geronimo that supports 10,000 concurrent users.
There are a number of use cases but here's one that captures the
primary issue
Will this scenario work in the absence of clustering:
1. Load balancer in front of many linux servers each running Geronimo
2. Each instance or Geronimo connected to the same database server
3. Application only composed of JSPs, Servlets and Javabeans (no EJBs)
4. Users will be accessing shared data such as registering for a class
In this case, if the following is true:
1. Load balancer handles session stickiness
2. Database server handles transactional access to shared data
3. Users can live without session failover
Will this work?
What are the unforeseen problems?
What are the unforeseen restrictions?
It should work. If they are only using the one database connection,
I'd suggest that they use a one-phase (normal non-two-phase) JDBC
connection. JDBC drivers tend to be more reliable in one-phase mode.
