Configuring and optimizing EWS with JBoss

There are various connectors available which you can use for configuring EWS with JBoss.

  • mod-cluster

    If you are using a clustered JBoss environment and want to setup a loadbalanced environment using EWS then mod_cluster is the best and recommended option, mod_cluster is more efficient and robust in clustered environments as compared to conventional connectors such as mod-jk and mod-proxy. For more details regarding of benefits of mod_cluster you can refer http://www.jboss.org/mod_cluster

    For configuring mod-cluster you can refer the below knowledgebase article.

Optimization

Majority of issues related to connectors such as session issues/timeouts can be resolved by optimizing the existing configurations taking into account your underlying hardware. So i recommend that you should use the listed application [1] for optimizing the configurations. This community application generates fairly optimized configurations.
