From the basic uses of JBoss EAP6 through to advanced clustering techniques, this book is the perfect way to learn how to achieve a system designed for high availability. All that's required is some basic knowledge of Linux/Unix. Overview A thorough introduction to the new domain mode provided by JBoss EAP6 Use mod_jk and mod_cluster with JBoss EAP6 Learn how to apply SSL in a clustering environment In Detail High availability is a system design approach and associated service implementation which ensures that a prearranged level of operational performance will be met during a contractual measurement period. High availability is usually a system combined with many different components that achieve different goals. High availability cluster implementations attempt to build redundancy into a cluster to eliminate single points of failure. JBoss EAP6 High Availability is the perfect guide for learning how to apply the newest technologies provided by JBoss to build your high availability system. With a clear explanation of the design of JBoss EAP6 and its clustering components, this book will help you customize each component to fulfill your specific requirements. Throughout the course of this book, you will learn how to build high availability clusters using the projects provided by JBoss. The book begins with an introduction to the design of JBoss EAP6 and its uses. The next step will be to explore the two companion open source projects - mod_jk and mod_cluster. In this section, you will get to grips with the concept of load balancing with mod_jk and mod_cluster. You will also learn how to enable SSL in the clustering environment and how to configure session replication between EAP6 servers. Furthermore, the appendix section introduces you to some troubleshooting techniques for Wildfly. What you will learn from this book Understand the basic usages of JBoss EAP6 Learn about domain management in JBoss EAP6 Use mod_jk as the load balancer of a JBoss AS cluster Deploy mod_cluster as the load balancer of a JBoss AS cluster Learn how to apply SSL into a cluster Enable session replication in a cluster Understand CDI and EJB stateful session bean clustering Configure sticky sessions with JK and mod_cluster Approach An easy-to-follow guide full of hands-on examples of real-world administration tasks. Who this book is written for JBoss EAP6 High Availability is ideal for those who want to learn how to use JBoss EAP6 to set up a cluster. Basic knowledge of Linux/Unix is required.
