This subsection describes the configuration where load balancing is executed by load balancer (layer 5 switch). This method is used when servlets or JSPs are the access points.
This subsection describes the in-process HTTP server function.
This configuration can be used when servlets or JSPs are the access points of the applications running on J2EE servers.
The load balancing can be implemented by registering the Application Server instance that is the target of the load balancer. You can register multiple Application Server instances to reduce the distribute the load created by access from the clients.
The following figure shows the configuration of load balancing using the load balancer:
Figure 3-38 Example of the configuration of load balancing using the load balancer (for using in-process HTTP server)
Note: For other legend items, see 3.2 Description of the system configuration.
If you are using load balancer, the required software and processes to be started on the respective machines is same as in configurations where servlets and JSPs are the access points. For details, see 3.4.2 Configuration where servlets and JSPs are used as access points (when using in-process HTTP server).
