Can you please eloberate on this, or point me to some useful link on this.

I would suggest setting your tcpListenAddreess back to auto as per the default as 127.0.0.1 will not hear the multicast ping.

And, "srao" is my machine name. <Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster" managerClassName="org.apache.catalina.cluster.session.DeltaManager" expireSessionsOnShutdown="false" useDirtyFlag="true"> <Membership className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.mcast.McastService" mcastAddr="srao" mcastPort="45564" mcastFrequency="500" mcastDropTime="3000"/> <Receiver className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.ReplicationListener" tcpListenAddress="127.0.0.1" tcpListenPort="4000" tcpSelectorTimeout="100" tcpThreadCount="6"/> <Sender className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.ReplicationTransmitter" replicationMode="pooled"/> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.ReplicationValve" filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;.*\.jpg;.*\.htm;.*\.html;.*\.txt;"/> </Cluster> Thanks for the interest.

I'm not sure what's causing your exception though, you'd need to post the cluster part of your server.xml for a better guess at the problem. Ta Matt -----Original Message----- From: Srinivas Rao Ch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 August 2004 12:05 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Tomcat clustering Matt, Thanks for the reply. Do you mean "mcastAddr" the loopback address? If yes, I am not using the root machine(Load Balancer, or the machine which takes request from clients) for clustering. And before that, seems that the cluster-nodes are not starting the cluster service. I am getting the following exception at the console. SEVERE: Unable to start cluster. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLoader .java:804) at org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLoader .java:756) at org.apache.catalina.cluster.MembershipFactory.getMembershipService(Membershi pFactory.java:93) at org.apache.catalina.cluster.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster.start(SimpleTcpCluster.java :491) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1115) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:816) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1125) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:518) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:519) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:234 Can you please tell me where I was wrong.

Ta Matt -----Original Message----- From: Srinivas Rao Ch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 August 2004 11:26 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Tomcat clustering I am getting problems in configuring my tomcat for clustering. Nodes are not recognizing each other. "mcastAddr" has the same IP for all the nodes. Can someone tell what this property is for. My tcpListenAddress is 127.0.0.1 for all the nodes but port is different. In my rules.xml in the Load Balancer, I am giving the machine names for "tcpListenAddress". Still it is not working. Is there anything to be done. Why my nodes are not recognizing each other. I appreciate any help.
