Creating and Configuring Pramati Server Nodes Using XML

Pramati Server instances that can be configured

There are three basic types of Pramati Server configurations:

• J2EE (serves EJB and web applications)

• Message Server (serves pure Message Server applications)

• Load Balancer (acts as the Pramati Request Dispatcher)

These are set up in the configuration XML, server-config.xml. The default instance is J2EE. In

a J2EE configuration, the Server can be set up as a Standalone Server or a Server Cluster Node. In a

Message Server configuration, the Server can be set up as a Standalone Server or a High Availability

Node.

Note: In the J2EE configuration, the Server can run Message Server in an embedded mode.

From these three basic configuration types, the following Server instances can be set up:

Standalone Server configurations derived from an instance

• Standalone Server

• Standalone Server with embedded Message Server

• Standalone Message Server

The most basic type of J2EE Server instance is the Standalone Server. It exists on a single machine, is

not part of any cluster, and acts as an independent server. The Standalone Server is the default server

type and can be configured to run embedded Message Server.

Note: By default embedded Message Server is checked as enabled in a J2EE server instance.

Server Cluster Node configurations derived from an instance

• J2EE Node (termed BOTH Node)

•Web Node

• HA Message Server Node

logging-config.xml Logging parameters like rotation type, max file size and rotation time are

configured here.

security-config.xml Contains information about security providers, security policy, certification

manager and realm.

web-cache.xml Contains dynamic cache configuration. Dynamic Cache service boosts the

network throughput and access speed in the web container of Pramati Server.

cluster-config.xml Stores cluster related information including configuration details for

individual nodes.

jms-config.xml Information related to Message Server Queues and Topics are stored here.
