Create a server profile for each worker node
Make a copy of the server profile you want to configure as a worker node, and rename it -worker-01
for example.Give each instance a unique name
Edit the following line in thePROFILE\deploy\jbossweb.sar\server.xml
file of each new worker instance:<Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="localhost">
Add a uniquejvmRoute
value, as shown. This value is the identifier for this node in the cluster.<Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="localhost" jvmRoute="worker-01">
Enable session handling
Uncomment the following line in thePROFILE\deployers\jbossweb.deployer\META-INF\war-deployers-jboss-beans.xml
file of each worker node:<property name="useJK">false</property>
This property controls whether special session handling is used to coordinate with mod_jk and other connector variants. Set this property totrue
in both worker nodes:<property name="useJK">true</property>
Start worker nodes
Start each worker node in a separate command line interface. Ensure that each node is bound to a different IP address with the--host
switch and that the profile is specified with the-c
switch.JBOSS_EAP_DIST\bin\run.bat --host=127.0.0.1 -c worker-01
