WSDL configuration in High Availability environment

Resolving The Problem

Configuring JBOSS cluster

1) different physical machines¿ simply install the software on each machine ¿ as long as you keep the same JBOSS domain name for both, they automatically recognize each other

¿OR¿

2) two (or more) instances on the SAME machine¿
2a) install AE and patches
2b) install jboss once for each instance you want to run (if you want 3 instances, you have to install it 3 times ¿ each with it¿s own directory of course)
2c) for JBOSS 4.x (possibly others, but you¿ll have to try it out yourself) you need to change the port number in the following files so that each JBOSS instance uses it¿s own set of ports:
deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\server.xml, or deploy\jbossweb-tomcat50.sar\server.xml
search for: Connector port="8080"
(NOTE: also AJP is 8009 and SSL/TLS is 8443)

deploy\jms\jms-ds.xml
search for: java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1100 (if uncommented)

deploy\jms\uil2-service.xml
search for: <attribute name="ServerBindPort">8093</attribute>

conf/jboss-service.xml
search for:
<attribute name="Port">8083</attribute>
<attribute name="Port">1099</attribute>
<attribute name="RmiPort">1098</attribute>
<attribute name="RMIObjectPort">4444</attribute>
<attribute name="ServerBindPort">4445</attribute>

deploy/jmx-rmi-adaptor.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml
search for: 19001
(NOTE: I could not find this one)

deploy/snmp-adaptor.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml
search for: <attribute name="Port">1162</attribute>
(NOTE: there was a second entry for port 1161¿ I changed both for my second instance)

conf/jacorb.properties file:
search for:
ORBInitRef.NameService=corbaloc::localhost:3528/JBoss/Naming/root
OAPort=3528

NOTE: The only other place I had to modify was¿
Default\deploy\cluster-service.xml file:
Search for ¿ 1100, 1101, 4447, 4446 and 1102

(3) Configuring the apache load balancer (using apache on CE in this case¿ note the http port for the CE¿s apache is modified from 80 to 8008)
I cannot improve on JBOSS¿s documentation on this (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingMod_jk1.2WithJBoss)¿ very simple if you remember the http port in the httpd.conf file (see Step #3 in the UsingMod_jk1.2WithJBoss guide)

(3a) Install P8 AE on the load balancer so that it configures the Process Application Engine Services Manager and all required JAR files for the router and AE ¿ a side benefit is that it will be easy to apply patches this way. NOTE: all you have to do is install the software (plus patches) ¿ no deployment is necessary.

4) On ALL machines that have the AE installed (including the load balancer), you must edit the P8BPMWSBroker.properties files:
#P8BPM WS Listener/WS Request Properties
#Thu Mar 22 15:16:37 PDT 2007
filenet.ws.request.tracefile=c\:\\wsinvoke.log
cm.truststore.uid=mh0Fnl9Jr7bTnkGFaxeTc38\=
filenet.ws.listener.tracing=false
cm.router=localhost\:32771/vwrouter
filenet.ws.request.cache.timeout=4
cm.certificates.autoaccept=false
last.updated=2007.03.22 15\:16\:37
filenet.ws.listener.tracefile=c\:\\wsinvoke.log
listener.base.url=http\://cmp8tempest\:8008/Workplace/P8BPMWSBroker
router.path=C\:\\Program Files//FileNet//Workplace//WEB-INF
cm.keystore=C\:\\Program Files\\FileNet\\Router\\JRE/lib/security/cacerts
cm.uid=ah4L+ObMhkXKr3vvnB9Dr6LNnkzIpAjDr6PyegGMchmTaK\=\=
att.handler=filenet.vw.idm.trident.WSSession
filenet.ws.request.tracefilesize=5000000
cm.keystore.uid=mh0Fnl9Jr7bTnkGHaxiOchm\=
filenet.ws.listener.cache.timeout=4
filenet.ws.request.tracing=false
cm.name=-1
filenet.ws.listener.tracefilesize=5000000
cm.truststore=C\:\\Program Files\\FileNet\\Router\\JRE/lib/security/cacerts

NOTE 1: for the cm.router entry ¿ this will be the same on all AE¿s and the load balancer (localhost\:<port>/<router_name> - I kept it simple and used the same router name on all machines.

NOTE 2: for the listener.base.url entry ¿ this machine and port must be the LOCAL machine name and port. For this example, I have 2 AE¿s and 1 load balancer as follows:
AE 1 ¿ machine name = firestormone using Jboss on port 8080
AE 2 ¿ machine name = firestormtwo using Jboss on port 8080
Load balancer ¿ machine name = cmp8tempest using Apache on port 8008
¿the entries would be as follows (in same order):
Listener.base.url=http\://firestormone\:8080/Workplace/P8BPMWSBroker
Listener.base.url=http\://firestormtwo\:8080/Workplace/P8BPMWSBroker
Listener.base.url=http\://cmp8tempest\:8008/Workplace/P8BPMWSBrokerrl=http\://cmp8tempest\:8008/Workplace/P8BPMWSBroker
