Installation guide

3. Specify the node name by appending the jvmRoute attribute to the <Engine> element in

server.xml. T he jvmRoute attribute value is the node name defined in

HTTPD_DIST/conf/workers.properties.

</Engine>

Important

If you intend to configure more than one server node in a cluster, ensure you change the

jvmRoute attribute value to a unique name each time you repeat this step.

4. In server.xml, ensure the AJP protocol <connector> element is enabled (uncommented). T he

element is uncommented by default in new installations.

<Connector protocol="AJP/1.3" port="8009" address="${jboss.bind.address}"

redirectPort="8443" />

5. You now have a correctly configured Apache httpd Server with mod_jk load balancer, which

balances calls to the servlet containers in the cluster, and ensures clients will always use the

same servlet container (sticky sessions).

Note

For supplementary information about using mod_jk with JBoss, refer to the JBoss wiki page at
