Ok. Now did you try clusterjsp? Did it work? Did you try the "port-hopping" to insure that the load balancer is not the issue?
Did you create your domain with the cluster profile. If not then your cluster is not enabled for replication. If you look at the instance log files during startup if your cluster is ready to replicate you will see lots of GMS related messages. If you don't see those then you either have to go back and create your domain with the cluster admin profile - or do some work to your existing domain to get it configured correctly.
Among the issues:
is the cluster heart-beat enabled = true?
under <availability-service> and the sub-element <web-container-availability>
are the availability-enabled set the "true"?
are all the persistence-type related attributes, especially in <web-container-availability> set
to "replicated"?
And finally, when you deployed the web app, did you indicate that it was availability-enabled
= "true"
if you used asadmin then you had --availabilityenabled=true
or if you used the admin gui you checked the availability-enabled to true before you hit the
deploy button.
I believe these are all things you would find in the HA Admin Guide. Again I recommend you to spend a bit time with it if you have not yet. You will be glad you did.
hope this helps
