Invalid information in JBoss SOA BPEL Guide regarding clustering support

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 5.2.0

Issue

Referring to Chapter 7 of JBoss SOA BPEL Guide, we have following doubts:

  • What is the "the $riftsaw/install file"?
  • In which folder should we run the command "ant deploy -Dclustering.support=true"
  • Where is the file riftsaw-cache-manager-jboss-beans.xml?
  • Should the .jar from the BPEL processes be deployed in all server nodes?

Resolution

The support for BPEL (Riftsaw) clustering is already enabled in 'all' and 'production' profiles. The documentation instructions are incorrect and they are referring to Riftsaw installation (the BPEL process engine) on community version of JBoss.

  • The the $riftsaw/install does not exist in JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform
  • There is no requirement to run the command "ant deploy -Dclustering.support=true"
  • There is no requirement to modify riftsaw-cache-manager-jboss-beans.xml
  • There is no requirement to copy BPEL specific jars on all server nodes.
