7 Configuring Load Balancing

You can configure your JBoss cluster to provide load-balancing functionality. You can use a load balancer to distribute the workload evenly across all nodes of your cluster. Apache web server and various plug-in are used to implement load balancing for the cluster. LiveCycle Cluster supports only stickiness enabled load balancer.

Obtain the Apache web server software that is applicable to your operating system:
  • For Windows, download the Apache web server from the Apache HTTP Server Project site.

  • For Solaris 64 bit, download the Apache web server from the Sunfreeware for Solaris Website.

  • For Linux, the Apache web server is preinstalled on a Linux system.

Apache can communicate to JBoss using HTTP or AJP protocol. The following are configurations for Load balancing using both protocols.
