Hi,
At moment we have 2 nodes in our bo4 cluster but we have not set up tomcat clustering so users use tomcat running on the first node.
Had a look at th eplatform pattern book below with reagrd setting tomcat up as cluster for failover/load balancing the application server tier.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Configuring+the+Application+Server+Cluster
Have a couple of questions.
If we did this could users either type http://node1/B0E/BI or http://node2/BOE/BI and would get failover if tomcat crashed on node 1 but they initiated connection via http://node1/BOE/BI theer sessionwould persist.
Is it possible to have a common URL which would route to node 1 or node 2?
Any downisdes/pitfalls of having tomcat cluster - had read in pastbest for performance persepctive for tomcat to run on separate node.
Don't want to look into load balancing if get more resilience but other disadvantages.
Thanks
