Procedure 8.1. Configure Application Platform Worker Node with Static Proxy List

1. Disable Dynamic Proxy Discovery

   Edit the standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml file and set the advertise property to false as follows:

    <mod-cluster-config advertise='false" connector="ajp" proxy-list="${jboss.modcluster.proxyList:}">

2. Choose and implement one of the following static proxy options:

   • Option 1: Create a Static Proxy Server List

     Edit the file standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml and add a comma separated list of proxies in the form of IP_ADDRESS:PORT in the proxyList property.

     Example 8.1. Example Static Proxy List

     <mod-cluster-config advertise="false" connector="ajp" proxy-list="10.33.144.3:6666,10.33.144.1:6666">

   • Option 2: Start the Worker Node with a Static Proxy List as a Parameter

     1. Edit standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml.
     2. Add the following line:

        <mod-cluster-config advertise="false" connector="ajp" proxy-list="${jboss.modcluster.proxyList:}">

     3. Add a comma separated list of proxies in the form of IP_ADDRESS:PORT as the jboss.modcluster.proxyList parameter when starting the node.

        Example 8.2. Example Static Proxy List Parameter

        -Djboss.modcluster.proxyList=10.33.144.3:6666,10.33.144.1:6666

Procedure 8.2. Configure Web Server Worker Node with Static Proxy List

1. Disable dynamic proxy discovery

   Edit the file JBOSS_EWS_DIST/tomcat6/conf/server.xml. and set the advertise property of the ModClusterListener to false:

2. Define a mod_cluster listener

   Add a <Listener> element to the server.xml file .

   <Listener className="org.jboss.modcluster.container.catalina.standalone.ModClusterListener" advertise="false" stickySession="true" stickySessionForce="false" stickySessionRemove="true"/>

3. Create a static proxy server list

   Add a comma separated list of proxies in the form of IP_ADDRESS:PORT as the proxyList property of the ModClusterListener <Listener> element.

   Example 8.3. Example Static Proxy List

   <Listener className="org.jboss.modcluster.container.catalina.standalone.ModClusterListener" advertise="false" stickySession="true" stickySessionForce="false" stickySessionRemove="true" proxyList="10.33.144.3:6666,10.33.144.1:6666"/>
