The tomcat cluster implementation provides session replication, context attribute replication and | |
cluster wide WAR file deployment. | |
While the <code>Cluster</code> configuration is fairly complex, the default configuration will work | |
for most people out of the box. </p><p> | |
The Tomcat Cluster implementation is very extensible, and hence we have exposed a myriad of options, | |
making the configuration seem like a lot, but don't lose faith, instead you have a tremendous control | |
over what is going on.</p> | |

<p> | |
You can place the <code><Cluster></code> element inside either the <code><Engine></code> | |
container or the <code><Host></code> container.<br> | |
Placing it in the engine, means that you will support clustering in all virtual hosts of Tomcat, | |
and share the messaging component. When you place the <code><Cluster></code> inside the <code><Engine></code> | |
element, the cluster will append the host name of each session manager to the managers name so that two contexts with | |
the same name but sitting inside two different hosts will be distinguishable. | |

<p><b><a href="cluster-manager.html">Manager</a>:</b> <br> | |
The session manager element identifies what kind of session manager is used in this cluster implementation. | |
This manager configuration is identical to the one you would use in a regular <code><a href="context.html#Nested%20xComponents"><Context></a></code> configuration. | |
<br>The default value is the <code>org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager</code> that is closely coupled with | |
the <code>SimpleTcpCluster</code> implementation. Other managers like the <code>org.apache.catalina.ha.session.BackupManager</code> | |
are/could be loosely coupled and don't rely on the <code>SimpleTcpCluster</code> for its data replication. | |
</p> | |
<p><b><a href="cluster-channel.html">Channel</a>:</b> <br> | |
The Channel and its sub components are all part of the IO layer | |
for the cluster group, and is a module in it's own that we have nick named "Tribes" | |
<br> | |
Any configuring and tuning of the network layer, the messaging and the membership logic | |
will be done in the channel and its nested components. | |
You can always find out more about <a href="../tribes/introduction.html">Apache Tribes</a> | |
</p> | |
<p><b><a href="cluster-valve.html">Valve</a>:</b> <br> | |
The Tomcat Cluster implementation uses <code>Tomcat <a href="valve.html">Valves</a></code> to | |
track when requests enter and exit the servlet container. It uses these valves to be able to make | |
intelligent decisions on when to replicate data, which is always at the end of a request. | |
</p> | |
<p><b><a href="cluster-deployer.html">Deployer</a>:</b> <br> | |
The Deployer component is the Tomcat Farm Deployer. It allows you to deploy and undeploy applications | |
cluster wide. | |
</p> | |
<p><b><a href="cluster-listener.html">ClusterListener</a>:</b> <br> | |
ClusterListener's are used to track messages sent and received using the <code>SimpleTcpCluster</code>. | |
If you wish to track messages, you can add a listener here, or you can add a valve to the channel object. | |

<b>Deprecated settings:</b> In the previous version of Tomcat you were able to control session | |
manager settings using manager.<property>=value. | |
This has been discontinued, as the way it was written interferes with | |
the ability to support multiple different manager classes under one cluster implementation, | |
as the same properties might have the different effect on different managers. | |
