Ingo, sounds like some kind of replication scheme.... cant say I understand, know it can get complex, I ended up making a dB replication server once to try keep clusters independent of each other. Anyway, what about naturally occuring unique numbers, like the IP address of the machine.
That you could stick in the dB and each machine will know it already.
like this for example
String ipaddr = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
Maybe?

Subject: Re: Server Node Id


Well, the reason is, that I need to run some tasks that have to be executed on each node once within the cluster. So each node must be able to identify these tasks that still need to be executed on this node. So in my solution the server node gets its id and checks which was the last task it has executed.

Therefore the id must not change after each startup.

Interesting question... I dont know if there is a property one can call.
I had a similar need behind a JK load balancing scheme, what I did was just generate a unique ID when each cluster webapp starts up, something like the MS GUID idea.
No pre-configuration required.

I think it would be very interesting to know why you doing this, think the guys will then really be abe to give you some good idea's.

Subject: Server Node Id


Hello,

i run an application within a tomcat cluster. Now I need a unique key for each server node for the application. My first solution was a property file within the war file. But this is not so handy on deployment cycles.

Is there a better way to place a unique identify for each cluster node or does a identifier already exist.
The id must only be unique within the cluster not globaly.

Regard
Ingo
