Tomcat 7 Clustering

Using Tomcat 7, I have created a two server cluster using the SimpleTcpCluster shortcut in the <Engine> container. Those server are talking correctly each other at startup and shutdown.

I have deployed a web-app named meteo-cluster.war, with <distributable/>. I have used the Web Application Manager to deploy the webapp on Server1. On this computer, http://localhost:8080/meteo-cluster/ works correctly.

Unfortunately, it's not deployed on Server2. Should it be automatic, or should I use also the web deployer ?

Regular deployment doesn't work that way. You'll need a farm deployer to do this automatically:

<Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster">
          <Deployer className="org.apache.catalina.ha.deploy.FarmWarDeployer"
                    tempDir="/tmp/war-temp/"
                    deployDir="/opt/tomcat7/webapps/" 
                    watchDir="/tmp/war-listen/"
                    watchEnabled="true" />
</Cluster>

Also, this will only work in the <Host> container:

Note: FarmWarDeployer can be configured at host level cluster only.
