Re: clustering questions
So the proper location for a Cluster element is inside a Host element? Host Does this mean I need to have a separate Cluster element for each virtual host? yes, unfortunately, the better solution is to do the virtual hosting in your apache server. That way you only need one cluster config. Filip Mark Eggers wrote: I'm looking at clustering and have a few questions. 1.

Per catalina design we can also have a cluster inside an engine or context. I hope in future we can add the cluster also inside the engine. It look like a server.xml option and small changes inside code! For backup a virtual hosting szenario this feature was useful. I add this topic to the cluster todo list. I also start to wrote a better cluster documentation for 5.5.10 (look inside cvs head) and help are very welcome :-) 2. There is a statement concerning number of threads would be optimal if it matched the number of nodes. This statement means the number of cluster backup nodes! I am fronting Tomcat with Apache/mod_jk. Would the number of nodes be the maximum clients I have configured for Apache times the number of Apache servers that can hit this Tomcat server? I am looking at having several virtual hosts running under one Tomcat instance. Does this mean I need to have a separate Cluster element for each virtual host? Today, this is true, but in my real life, I have only one or two heavy application services per tomcat instance that works inside a cluster. Let us know your use case?
