Neha, Here is a configuration we use to do load balancing in ofbiz. Others may do something else.
1. One machine is running an Apache Web server with mod_jk setup to communicate with different instances of ofbiz. The mod_jk is setup to load balance between the different ofbiz instances. Here is a document that helps you get setup: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/loadbalancers.html 2. Then we start multiple boxes running ofbiz server - all pointing to the same database. The servers are setup to communicate using mod_jk's AJP protocol. You need to set the "jvm-route" in the framework/base/config/ofbiz-containers.xml file to insure the load balancer maintains sessions between requests. Here is a snippet of that configuration file. <container name="catalina-container" class="org.ofbiz.catalina.container.CatalinaContainer"> <!-- static configuration for tomcat --> <property name="delegator-name" value="default"/> <property name="use-naming" value="false"/> <property name="debug" value="0"/> <property name="catalina-runtime-home" value="runtime/catalina"/> <property name="apps-context-reloadable" value="false"/> <property name="apps-cross-context" value="false"/> <property name="apps-distributable" value="false"/> <!-- one or more tomcat engines (servers); map to this + host --> <property name="default-server" value="engine"> <property name="default-host" value="0.0.0.0"/> *<property name="jvm-route" value="jvm1"/>* <property name="access-log-pattern"> ..... 3. One large box is running our database server. We've been please with how well the Apache load balancing module works with ofbiz.
