Tomcat 7 Cluster with load balancing only needs to run a service periodically
The Tomcat cluster is configured as load balancer only. There is no session
replication. So in case a Tomcat node on which the user session is running,
dies in that case the session is lost.
We do need to run a service on that cluster periodically. Obviously it
cannot run on both servers, but at the same time one has to ensure it has
to be run on at least one server after certain interval.
What is an elegant solution in this case?
Regards,
Suhaas

Yes, Christopher, I know.
Any pointers? Any open source libraries that might be worth looking at?

Sounds like you need to do some research.

Re: Tomcat 7 Cluster with load balancing only needs to run a service periodically
Posted by Suhaas Lang <su...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for your response. No. I am not allowed to use cron :-)
One thing I have been asked to look at is nodes co-ordinating by sending
events to each other.
But again I am wondering how coordination would take place in case one
node goes down. In that case, when it is started again and becomes a part
of the cluster, it would try to start services that shoukd run
periodically. But its intervals woukd be out of sync wit rest of the
clusters.
Regards,
Suhaas

Use cron with a non-web-based tool?
