Hi,
I have been trying to test Clustering with Tomcat5 and installed rpms from
jpackage.org and using these rpms:

tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.0.30-11jpp, tomcat5-5.0.30-11jpp,
tomcat5-jasper-5.0.30-11jpp

I have been trying to use an example from OReilly site and I have three VMWARE
(virtual machines), one is LoadBalancer and other two are Cluster nodes.

When I tested the example I get the error below [Required property
"mcastClusterDomain" is missing]  and I have also pasted my server.xml, web.xml,
and rules.xml also.

Thanks for help.

         By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port 8080.
         You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
         following the instructions below and uncommenting the second Connector
         entry.  SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL Config

         instructions):
         * If your JDK version 1.3 or prior, download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or
           later, and put the JAR files into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".

           the keystore itself.

         By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
         request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an adverse impact on
         performance, so you can disable it by setting the
         "enableLookups" attribute to "false".  When DNS lookups are disabled,
         request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the

             So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in
there
             that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
             A cluster has the following parameters:

             className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class

             name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything

             debug = the debug level, higher means more output

             mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the 
nodes

             mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the 
nodes

             mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a
"I'm alive" heartbeat

             mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is
considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received

             tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming
replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes 

             tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP
cluster request on this host, 
                                in case of multiple ethernet cards.
                                auto means that address becomes
                                InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()

             tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port

             tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select()
method in case the OS
                                  has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no
timeout

             printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out

             expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that 

             useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after
setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
                            false means to replicate the session after each 
request.
                            false means that replication would work for the
following piece of code:
                            <%
                            HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
                            map.put("key","value");
                            %>
             replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or
'asynchronous'.
                               * Pooled means that the replication happens using
several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the
request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a
pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest
configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have
dealing with replication.
                               * Synchronous means that the thread that executes
the request, is also the
                               thread the replicates the data to the other
nodes, and will not return until all
                               nodes have received the information.
                               * Asynchronous means that there is a specific
'sender' thread for each cluster node,
                               so the request thread will queue the replication
request into a "smart" queue,
                               and then return to the client.
                               The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session
is added to the queue, and the same session
                               already exists in the queue from a previous
request, that session will be replaced
                               in the queue instead of replicating two requests.
This almost never happens, unless there is a 
                               large network delay.
        -->             
        <!--
            When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch
all the requests
            coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be
replicated.
            A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
            1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been
called AND
            2. a session exists (has been created)
            3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute

            The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify
the session,
            hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
            The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean
to filter out,
            ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the
filters.
            The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ;
even if you wanted to.

            filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the
session after requests with the URI
            ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.

    <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received
         and responses are returned.  Each Connector passes requests on to the
         associated "Container" (normally an Engine) for processing.

         By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is established on port 8080.
         You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 by
         following the instructions below and uncommenting the second Connector
         entry.  SSL support requires the following steps (see the SSL Config
         HOWTO in the Tomcat 5 documentation bundle for more detailed
         instructions):
         * If your JDK version 1.3 or prior, download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or
           later, and put the JAR files into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
         * Execute:
             %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
             $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA  (Unix)
           with a password value of "changeit" for both the certificate and
           the keystore itself.

         By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a web application calls
         request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an adverse impact on
         performance, so you can disable it by setting the
         "enableLookups" attribute to "false".  When DNS lookups are disabled,
         request.getRemoteHost() will return the String version of the
         IP address of the remote client.

             printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out

             expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that 

             useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after
setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
                            false means to replicate the session after each 
request.
                            false means that replication would work for the
following piece of code:
                            <%
                            HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
                            map.put("key","value");
                            %>
             replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or
'asynchronous'.
                               * Pooled means that the replication happens using
several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the
request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a
pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest
configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have
dealing with replication.
                               * Synchronous means that the thread that executes
the request, is also the
                               thread the replicates the data to the other
nodes, and will not return until all
                               nodes have received the information.
                               * Asynchronous means that there is a specific
'sender' thread for each cluster node,
                               so the request thread will queue the replication
request into a "smart" queue,
                               and then return to the client.
                               The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session
is added to the queue, and the same session
                               already exists in the queue from a previous
request, that session will be replaced
                               in the queue instead of replicating two requests.
This almost never happens, unless there is a 
                               large network delay.

        <!--
            When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch
all the requests
            coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be
replicated.
            A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
            1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been
called AND
            2. a session exists (has been created)
            3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute

            The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify
the session,
            hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
            The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean
to filter out,
            ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the
filters.
            The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ;
even if you wanted to.

            filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the
session after requests with the URI
            ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
