[wildfly-dev] Clustering in WildFly 8

[Arun Gupta]

I've started playing with clustering in WildFly 8 and been able to
create a simple sample that shows HTTP session failover.

The sample is at:

https://github.com/arun-gupta/wildfly-samples/tree/master/clustering/http

I'll be sharing a blog post on this soon.

In the mean while here is some initial feedback:

1). Starting domain.sh automatically starts two WildFly instances on
8080 and 8230. Clicking on "Administration Console" shows the message
" if you are running a domain the http interface can not be
automatically detected so check the host.xml configuration and connect
directly.".

I think this message can be improved by saying what needs to be done
in order to access the console.

2). If a WildFly instance needs to run on multiple hosts then it seems
like it needs to be manually copied over to each machine. Is there a
mechanism where a zip bundle can be sftp/ssh copied over to the remote
machine ? This would simplify setting up a cluster.

3). Changed server-two auto-start="false" and server-three
auto-start="true". Running domain.sh gives the following error:

Is there something else that needs to be configured ?
