End to end persistence?
Deployment:
n front end web servers handling user activity (2 right now).
m back end boxes doing the actual heavy lifting
Desire:
I would like a user to be bound to both FE and BE boxes and only moving iff and only if there is a failure.
Background:
I understand persistence is based upon connections and not HTTP requests. Check.
Internally, we use Apache Jakarta HTTPClient to access the back end servers and it tries to reduce the overall number of connections by muxing requests into one connection if possible.
The front end server doesn't currently keep affinity of connection (and because of the libraries, might not be able to).
What are my options?
thanks,
greg
