[jboss-user] [Clustering/JBoss] - Re: why is session clustered when load balancing or failover

[bstansberry@jboss.com]

The JBoss AS src dist used to include a webapp that could be deployed that would function as a load balancer.  It was never intended to be used in any kind of production setting; could only be used for testing.  Hence it was never included in the 'all' config; it had to be built from the src dist and deployed. It was completely unmaintained and untested and AFAICT rarely used.  For roughly the same effort as building and installing this webapp, you could download and install Apache and mod_jk, and as a bonus get an understanding of how to use a production quality load balancer. Because of all this, we decided to drop the load balancer webapp from the JBoss src.
