HTTP Load Balancing and Failover

The goal of load balancing is to evenly distribute the workload between multiple Sun Java System Application Server instances, stand-alone or clustered, thereby increasing the overall throughput of the system. Using a load balancer also enables requests to fail over from one server instance to another.

Use the asadmin tool, not the Admin Console, to configure HTTP load balancing.

For complete instructions on configuring load balancing, see the Sun Java System Application Server Administration Guide.
