[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (MODCLUSTER-125) Permanently remove a JBoss node from configured http proxies

[Ben Schofield (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/MODCLUSTER-125?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12510227#action_12510227 ] 

Ben Schofield commented on MODCLUSTER-125:
------------------------------------------

So the process to permanently remove the node would be:
1) to set "auto-enable contexts" to false in mod-cluster-jboss-beans.xml
2) invoke the MBean to disable the node in the http proxy.
3) restart the node
do your validation
4) set "auto-enable contexts" to true in mod-cluster-jboss-beans.xml
5) invoke the mbean to enable the node in the http proxy.

Is that how you see things playing out? Any concern with triggering a deploy of mod-cluster by modifying the config on the file system?

Of course "auto-enable contexts" could always be false if that is the desired behavior. However this is only the desired behavior when something has gone wrong so I wouldn't anticipate many folks setting "auto-enable contexts" to false as the default.

> When a JBoss node is restarted it advertises the web apps deployed to it as being available for the http proxy to route traffic to them.  This is undesirable when a JBoss administrator needs to keep a JBoss node out of service for validation and/or troubleshooting steps.  Mod_cluster needs to offer some mechanism to permanently remove a JBoss node from any configured http proxy until a JBoss administrator manually adds it back.
