Example Overview
This example demonstrates how to use context level clustering with the Tomcat web container in Geronimo. It contains the necessary attachments for setting up cluster members on two separate physical machines. The cluster configuration will allow the two cluster members to replicate httpsession data via memory to memory multicast communication. Also, a load balancer can be used to spray the incoming requests to the available cluster members. In this example, we recommend Apache HTTP server and Apache mod_jk.

Warning

Note that Tomcat "host Context level" clustering is also available and is a preferred solution as it is known to scale higher than "context-level" clustering.  There is a separate wiki article on this supporthas a known bug in Tomcat as reported in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2577 and http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41620. Hence we recommend that you use "Host level" clustering as documented in http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC11/geronimo-tomcat-host-level-clustering-sample-application.html
