When multiple Servoy Application Servers are used to host the same set of solutions to the same group of users, a HTTP Server can be added to the infrastructure to:

  • Provide clients with a single point of entry, hiding the separate Servoy Application Servers from view for clients and
  • Automatic distribution of connecting clients over the available Servoy Application Servers, using Load Balancing functionality.
Note
titleClustering of Servoy Application Servers using [Servoy Cluster]

When multiple Servoy Application Servers are used to host the same set of solutions to the same group of users, sharing the same set of databases, Servoy Cluster can be put to use. Using Servoy Cluster all clustered Servoy Application Servers become one virtual Servoy Application Server. For more information see Clustering serversServers

There are multiple ways to setup Load Balancing and the single point of entry, for example:

  • Custom Balancing inside Tomcat
  • Using HTTP servers that support (or have modules for) AJP1.3, like Apache HTTP Server or IIS

This chapter describes the process of setting up and using Apache HTTP Server. This manual doesn't replace the documentation of the Apache HTTP Server itself, as it details the bare minimum to install Apache HTTP Server and do the required configuration to make it work with the Servoy Application Server instances.
