Hi,
I have this 3-tier architecture in mind:
1. Persistence: Hibernate with MySQL
2. Business: Spring 2.5
3. Presentation: Wicket
I want my application to have high availability and scalability, so I
want to cluster it with load-balancing, fail-over and synchronization.
I wonder if you know of any nice tutorial which will educate me on the
subject? And if not, if you can give me some pointers of what I need
to do.
I have some questions below, if you know of something I haven't
thought to ask about feel free to educate me further. I've found it
hard to find concrete information regarding this topic.
1. Do I have to run this inside a Java EE server or is it possible using Tomcat?
2. Should I run this inside a Java EE server? I have used JBoss 4.x,
maybe I should use it?
I have seen suggestions for deployment architectures similar to this one:
[Active load balancer] - [Backup load balancer]
|
[WebServer1] , [WebServer2] , ... [WebServerN]
|
[MySqlServer1] , [MySqlServer2] , ... [MySqlServerN]
3. What should I use for load balancer? (I know there are multiple
load balancing strategies.)
4. I've heard that WebServer1, ... , WebServerN should be
synchronized, use fail-over and be load-balanced. Exactly what do I
have to synchronize? How is that achieved?
5. I've also heard that MySqlServer1, ... , MySqlServerN should be
synchronized, use fail-over and be load-balanced. Exactly what do I
have to synchronize? How is that achieved?
6. In the past I've only a 3-tier architecture based on JPA, EJB
(Stateless session beans) and JSP+Servlet for Persistence, Business
and the Presentation layers. Pure Hibernate (I've used JPA with
Hibernate as persistence provider) is new to me, Spring 2.5 is new and
Wicket is new. Also creating a clustered solution like this is new to
me. :-) I'm a bit afraid that there are too many new components for me
to handle. Wicket seems easy enough, I'm reading Wicket in Action. Do
you think I should change any of the other components into components
I've used before, as the new components requires a high learning
investment? (I should also make a note of that I am not entirely
satisfied with Java EE in its current version.)
If you've read this far, thank you! I'm a bit lost at the moment as
solutions with high availability and scalability are new to me, I
would really appreciate any help I can get.
Best regards, Kent
