- Clustering & Load Balancing
Clustering allows an application server to support multiple nodes with failover, session data sharing, and load balancing across many network nodes.

Apache handles the request for static pages (including HTML, JPEG, and GIF files), while Geronimo handles requests for dynamic pages (JSPs or servlets) with the help of Tomcat/Jetty.
