In this recipe, you will learn how to cluster two WildFly nodes locally, that is, on your PC. We will try this using the standalone mode and the ha profile.
For this recipe, we will need the cluster-aware application named cluster-test, that you can find in my GitHub repository. If you skipped the Managing applications using the deployments folder recipe in Chapter 2, Running WildFly in Standalone Mode, please refer to it to download all the source code and projects that you will need.
To build the application, give the following commands:
$ cd ~/WFC/github/wildfly-cookbook $ cd cluster-test $ mvn -e clean package
From the WildFly installation directory $WILDFLY_HOME, let's create two folders, each one representing a server node:
Open a terminal and execute the following commands:
$ cd $WILDFLY_HOME $ cp -a standalone cl-std-node-1 $ cp -a standalone cl-std-node-2
Now, let's copy the
cluster-test.warapplication into thedeployments...
