Chapter 32. Clustering with JOnAS
This architecture provides:
•
Load Balancing: Requests can be dispatched over a set of servers to distribute the load. This im-
proves the “scalability” by allowing more requests to be processed concurrently.
•
High Availability (HA): having several servers able to fulfill a request makes it possible to ensure
that, if a server dies, the request can be sent to an available server (thus the load-balancing algo-
rithm ensures that the server to which the request will be sent is available). Therefore, “Service
Availability” is achieved.
•
Failover at Servlet/JSP Level: This feature ensures that, if one JSP/Servlet server goes down, an-
other server is able to transparently take over (that is, the request will be switched to another server
without service disruption). This means that it will not be necessary to start over, thus achieving
continuity.
However, failover at EJB level is not available. This means that no State Replication is provided. The
mechanism to provide failover at EJB level is under development and will be available in a coming
version of JOnAS.

This section describes how to configure Apache, Tomcat, and JOnAS to run the architecture shown in
the following illustration:
