14.2. Configure server instance as a worker node

Make a copy of the server profile you want to configure as a worker node, and rename it - worker-01 for example.

Edit the following line in the PROFILE\deploy\jbossweb.sar\server.xml file of each new worker instance:

<Engine name="jboss.web" defaultHost="localhost">

Add a unique jvmRoute value, as shown. This value is the identifier for this node in the cluster.

Uncomment the following line in the PROFILE\deployers\jbossweb.deployer\META-INF\war-deployers-jboss-beans.xml file of each worker node:

<property name="useJK">false</property>

This property controls whether special session handling is used to coordinate with mod_jk and other connector variants. Set this property to true in both worker nodes:

<property name="useJK">true</property>

Start each worker node in a separate command line interface. Ensure that each node is bound to a different IP address with the --host switch and that the profile is specified with the -c switch.
