PoC Wildfly Buildpack and problems with load-balancing
Thomas Darimont
Hello group,
this is my first post to this list so I hope I'm at the right place with my problem :) For a PCFDev demo at our Java User Group I wanted to deploy a Java EE App on Wildfly to Cloud Foundry via (PCFDev). I noticed that there is only a rather old JBoss buildpack available so I created a prototypic Wildfly (10.1.0.x) buildpack. I think having such a buildpack would be quite useful - could help to ease moving legacy Java EE Apps to CF. With this new wildfly buildpack I'm able to successfully deploy a sample Java EE App to Cloud Foundry - yay :) I can also scale up to multiple instances - however external http requests are only ever hitting a single application instance. (I added some output of VCAP_APPLICATION, CF_INSTANCE_GUID/CF_INSTANCE_INDEX env variables to the hello.xhtml page in the example app to verify this). PoC Wildfly Buildpack: https://github.com/thomasdarimont/wildfly-buildpack JavaEE Petclinic Example app with manifest: https://github.com/thomasdarimont/javaee7-petclinic/tree/poc/pcf-dev It seems that the load-balancing isn't working correctly. Can anybody give me a hint at what might be the problem? Some steps to reproduce the problem: 0) start pcf dev cf dev start 1) login to pcfdev cf login -a https://api.local.pcfdev.io --skip-ssl-validation 2) checkout & build example app git clone https://github.com/thomasdarimont/javaee7-petclinic.git cd javaee7-petclinic git checkout poc/pcf-dev mvn package 3) deploy to pcfdev cf deploy 4) Scale to 2 instances cf scale javaee-petclinic -i 2 5) Observe the logs in a new terminal cf logs javaee-petclinic 6) Send some requests to the sample app Refresh the page several times: http://javaee-petclinic.local.pcfdev.io/hello.jsf Expected: Some requests should be handled by different APP instances so there should be alternating APP/0, APP/1 entires visible in the logs... Note thate one can clearly see the application instance booting: 2016-08-30T00:24:18.65+0200 [APP/0] OUT 22:24:18,648 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYSRV0025: WildFly Full 10.1.0.Final (WildFly Core 2.2.0.Final) started in 12375ms - Started 638 of 874 services (404 services are lazy, passive or on-demand) ... 2016-08-30T00:25:05.58+0200 [APP/1] OUT 22:25:05,581 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYSRV0025: WildFly Full 10.1.0.Final (WildFly Core 2.2.0.Final) started in 12174ms - Started 638 of 874 services (404 services are lazy, passive or on-demand) Cheers, Thomas |
