Multiple server setup (HAFO)
Hi All,
Does any one have experiences with a multi server setup (High Availability
- Fail Over) with either the embedded tomcat server or using external
servers? I am seeing some erratic behaviour in a 3 server installation, and
I don't know whether this is due to specific hot-deploy apps or otherwise.
Please share your experiences.
Regards,
Pierre Smits

Thanks Scot,
Given that I use trunk as the basis and its data (with a few modifications
regarding the test tenants) I don't expect this to be the case. But I will
have it looked into.

Check that resource URLs aren't html encoded, some browsers fail to send cookie information in that situation which causes a new session to be created.

Thanks Mike,
But I have following in my workers.properties file for mod_jk configuration:
worker.test-LB.sticky_session=True

You probably have to define "sticky sessions" in your mod_jk Config.

In a test environment we have setup the following configuration:
- Apache http server in front with mod_jk configured for load balancing
pointing via ajp to:
- 3 OFBiz spokes based on trunk (embedded tomcat version) on linux, each
set with own unique.instanceId (ofbiz1, ofbiz2, ofbiz3) and each with own
jvm-route (ofbiz1, ofbiz2, ofbiz3
- DCC implemented (activemq lib installed - as per JIRA OFBIZ-5448),
connecting to Apache Servicemix. This works
- demo loaded in default
- setup of a few test tenants (tenantA, tenantB, tenantC) with seed,
seed-initial and seed-ext data, plus specific product data tenant users
(with proper permissions and roles) for each tenant
The erratic behaviours we are seeing are:
1)
In the backend, when having logged in a tenant, we experience that when
having logged in e.g. the catalog or contant and having accessed a screen
(meaning screen is loaded and shown properly), when going to another screen
in the same application the user is required to login again. This happens
very regularly.
2)
In a hot-deploy copy of the ecommerce application (re-using services and
groovy script files, but pointers to menu, screens and forms (including ftl
files) are to the objects in the (own) hot-deploy copy, we see that when
having loaded (and properly shown) the main screen (with promotions
overview) and going to e.g. a specific product in the promotions overview
we experience the display of a blank screen. This also happens frequently.
After reloading the screen in the browser the correct screen is loaded and
shown.
3)
In above mentioned hot-deploy copy of the ecommerce app when trying to
display products in a category from the tree we regularly get following
message: An error occured loading content!: [object Object]

In the second situation described in my previous post, I meant to say that
the pointers to groovy scripts and services (when and where applicable)
aren't modified and point to the locations in the special-purpose ecommerce
application.

It might help to be more specific about the problem. What do you mean by
"erratic behavior?" What version of OFBiz? How is the cluster configured?
