Overview of this book

High availability is a system design approach and associated service implementation which ensures that a prearranged level of operational performance will be met during a contractual measurement period. High availability is usually a system combined with many different components that achieve different goals. High availability cluster implementations attempt to build redundancy into a cluster to eliminate single points of failure. JBoss EAP6 High Availability is the perfect guide for learning how to apply the newest technologies provided by JBoss to build your high availability system. With a clear explanation of the design of JBoss EAP6 and its clustering components, this book will help you customize each component to fulfill your specific requirements. Throughout the course of this book, you will learn how to build high availability clusters using the projects provided by JBoss. The book begins with an introduction to the design of JBoss EAP6 and its uses. The next step will be to explore the two companion open source projects - mod_jk and mod_cluster. In this section, you will get to grips with the concept of load balancing with mod_jk and mod_cluster. You will also learn how to enable SSL in the clustering environment and how to configure session replication between EAP6 servers. Furthermore, the appendix section introduces you to some troubleshooting techniques for Wildfly.

Deploying a project in the domain mode


Now let's learn how to deploy a project in the domain mode. When JBoss EAP6 is running under the domain mode, multiple servers can form a server group. When we deploy a project into a server group, all the servers in this group will get the project deployed. First, let's start JBoss EAP6 in the domain mode by domain.sh. Then, we will access the management console address, http://127.0.0.1:9990. The management console under the domain mode is different from the standalone mode. It's shown in the following screenshot:

The following are some notes about the management console is shown in the preceding screenshot:

  1. There is a Server: section in the sidebar where we can check all the servers in different server groups.

  2. The marker indicates the running status of each server.

  3. Ports: shows the port offsets of each server. Because these servers are running on the same machine, their ports must be offset to avoid confliction.

  4. Profile: shows the profiles that the...
