Thanks for this. I have set up the solution for failover using nginx as a proxy server between my two tomcat servers. But my mentor told with only using tomcat server's configuration files, you can redirect the requests to another server if and only if the particular server is down. So I am searching for this solution, and came to know about this group. So I requested about this , may be I will get some ideas.
Really thanks for response.
