What is correct for workers.properties.minimal

[David Thielen <da...@windward.net>]

Hi;

 

I'm running Tomcat 5.5 on Windows 2003/IIS 6.0 using isapi_redirect

 

The isapi_redirect.exe installer creates a worker.properties.minimal of:

      worker.list=wlb,jkstatus

      worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13

      worker.ajp13w.host=localhost

      worker.ajp13w.port=8009

      worker.wlb.type=lb

      worker.wlb.balance_workers=ajp13w

      worker.jkstatus.type=status

 

While the docs show one of:

      worker.list=ajp13w

      worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13

      worker.ajp13w.host=localhost

      worker.ajp13w.port=8009

 

First, what use is the load balancing if I have just one server running one
instance of Tomcat? Does it load balance within that one instance?

 

Second, what is jkstatus for?

 

Thanks - dave

Jkstatus is used for displaying and managing load balancers and load
balancer members.
Since it can manage only the workers that are members of load balancer
that simple configuration has been made as an example.

If there is a single worker as member of load balancer the performance
will be the same, because in that case the entire lb election phases
are simply skipped. Of course you have the option to manage your
worker at runtime.
