RAP/RWT Cluster
| RAP wiki home | RAP project home |
Load balancing
Load balancing to distribute workload across multiple nodes in a cluster works with RAP out of the box since version 1.0.
One thing to mind though when setting up a load balancer for RAP applications is that it must be configured to use stcky sessoins (aka session affinity). This entails that once a session is started, the same server serves all requests for that session.
For information on how to set up load balancing, refer to the servlet container documentation. E.g. Tomcat
Transparent session failover
Development Snapshots
Development takes place in HEAD, if you are interested you may want to directly check out the source from the source code repository. Nightly builds are also available and can be downloaded from the build server.
Schedule
We plan to ship a first version with Milestone 1 of RAP 1.5 which will be available end of August 2011.
