No that is not what I'm doing, for purposes of testing I am using Sun's Java Web Server 7 update 1. The software load balancer and the DAS and the two node instances residing on a single box. The box is a server based quad core Intel with 8 gigs of memory. We are in the purpose of building another box to add additional instances to the cluster.
All instances have load balancing enabled include the single application for testing. I'm not really sure what the distinction is here if I have load balancing enabled on an instance but then I also need to enable load balancing for an application? So if I have load balancing for all instances but not the application only a single instance will ever service the application? Is that what this means?
For the presentation I'm using the JBoss Seam framework. So far we had been doing development with it using our single instance development profile and it appears fine. My understanding is that it should behave well in a clustered environment but as I mentioned before the documentation is a bit sparse when it comes to this.
