Hi Ramsey;
I followed this thread earlier with great interest. Has anyone
started any work toward this yet? I'd like to help if I can.
I did take a bit of a look into this.
I like the idea of moving to a servlet container bundle. I am not
sure what would be required for this to work.
...
I like the idea too. It would be nice if we could make wo apps work
as well on other java app servers as they do on the monitor/wotaskd
combo.
I agree -- I think some of the benefits are quite significant if the
implementation is good.
The other issue is dynamic reconfiguration. Adding an instance
require editing the apache config file and restarting apache. We
need to add to the mod_proxybalancer a mechanism to dynamically
load the configuration,
I looked at the Apache 2.2 source; there seems to be an XML format for
outputting the state of the balancer, but no means by which this can
be read-in other than by using the "balancer manager" (c/w
"mod_status") as a human operator on a browser. The code for balancer-
manager is a good place to start with regard to dynamically modifying
the balancers. To add applications, I presume one would need to
dynamically re-configure Apache's "Location" etc... somehow and ran
out of time to try and understand that part of it.
I am thinking of a slightly different approach now, but haven't had a
chance yet to nut it all out.
cheers.
