The balancer webapp +requires a Servlet Specification 2.3 or later container if you wish +to use a filter to redirect traffic. If you wish to redirect traffic +using a servlet, you may use any servlet container. +</p> +</subsection> + +<subsection name="Sample Configuration"> +<p> +The default balancer installation uses a single filter, BalancerFilter, +mapped to all requests (url-pattern /*). The filter reads its rules +from the location specified in the balancer deployment descriptor +(web.xml file). The default rules are: +<ul> + <li>Redirect requests with News in the URL to www.cnn.com</li> + <li>Redirect requests with a parameter named paramName whose +value is paramValue to www.yahoo.com.</li> + <li>Redirect all other requests to jakarta.apache.org.</li> +</ul> + +Therefore, when you install tomcat, start it, and point your +browser to http://localhost:8080/balancer, you will be redirected +to http://jakarta.apache.org. If you point your browser to +http://localhost:8080/balancer/News you will be redirected to +http://www.cnn.com. The request for +http://localhost:8080/balancer/BlahBlah?paramName=paramValue will +be redirected to http://www.yahoo.com. +</p> +</subsection> + +<subsection name="Balancer Rules"> +<p> +A <i>Rule</i> in the balancer system is a combination of +a request matching criterion and a redirection URL for +matching requests. Rules implement the +org.apache.webapp.balancer.Rule interface. +</p> + +<p> +The balancer distribution contains a number of useful +rules. The framework is also designed for easy extensibility +so that you can write your own rules quickly. Rules +should be JavaBeans (public no-args constructor, public +setter method setXXX for property xxx), as they are +instantiated by Jakarta Commons Digester. Feel free +to inquire on the tomcat-user mailing list regarding +the availability of rules or the inclusion of your rules +in the distribution. +</p> + +<p> +Rules are assembled into RuleChains. Each BalancerFilter +(or Servlet/JSP) refers to one RuleChain when making its +redirection decisions. Note that you are not restricted +to having one filter mapped to /* as done in the sample +configuration. You can configure as many filters as +desired, using the full filter mapping possibilities defined +in the Servlet Specification. Each filter will have +its own RuleChain. +</p> +</subsection> + +<subsection name="How it Works"> +<p> +<ol> + <li>You write a rules configuration file containing various +rules and redirection locations.</li> + <li>You define the balancer filter in your web.xml, mapping +it as desired (/* is a common use-case) and configuring it +with your rules configuration file.</li> + <li>The server is started, initializing the filter.</li> + <li>A request comes into the server.
