[wildfly-dev] Using Wildfly as a load balancer

[Stuart Douglas]

Hi everyone,

A while ago we added support to Wildfly to allow it to be used as a front
end mod_cluster based load balancer.

I am going to blog about this once it appears in a released version, but
for now if anyone wants to try it out I have an example in my github at
https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/modcluster-example

The example basically contains the CLI commands need to start a domain with
two backend servers and a front end load balancer (with a simple deployment
that prints the server name that handles the request, and can start
counting requests to demonstrate sticky sessions and failover), although
the deployment path and local IP address will need to be modified
appropriately.

I'm just posting about this here in case it is interesting to anyone, as it
should provide a very simple way to get started with clustering.
