Configuring Apache to JBoss HTTP Request Routing Using Mod_Proxy::
Prerequisites:
1) Apache HTTP server either from JBoss Enterprise Web Server or provided by operating
system needs to be installed
2) The mod_proxy modules need to be installed. Apache HTTP server typically comes with
the mod_proxy modules already included
3) You need root or administrator privileges to modify the Apache HTTP Server configuration.
STEP1: Enable the mod_proxy modules in the httpd.conf:
Look for the following lines in your HTTPD_CONF/httpd.conf file. If they are not present, add
them to the bottom. If they are present but the lines begin with a comment (#) character, remove
the character. Save the file afterward.
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
# LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so( If it is domain enable it )
# Uncomment these to proxy FTP or HTTPS
#LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
#LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
Step2: Add a non-load-balancing proxy:
Add the following configuration to your HTTPD_CONF/httpd.conf file, directly beneath any
other <VirtualHost> directives you may have. Replace the values with ones appropriate to
your setup.
<virtualHost localhost:7007>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /sample http://localhost:8080/sample
ProxyPassReverse /sample http://localhost:8080/sample
</virtualHost >
After making your changes, save the file
Step3: Add a load-balancing proxy:
Make sure to uncomment the following one.
@ LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
@ Loadmodule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
@ LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
@ Loadmodule ibmethod_byrequests_module modules/mod_ibmethod_byrequests.so
<Proxy balancer://cluster>
# Add each JBoss Enterprise Application Server by IP address and port.
# If the route values are unique like this, one node will not fail over to the other.

<VirtualHost *:7007>
# Your domain name
ServerName YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /SampleWebApp balancer://cluster/SampleWebApp/ stickysession=JSESSIONID
Step4: Enable Sticky session:
Sticky sessions mean that if a client request originally goes to a specific JBoss worker, all future
requests will be sent to the same worker, unless it becomes unavailable. This is almost always
the correct behavior.
Step5: Restart the web server:
Restart the web server for your changes to take effect.
