8.5 Installing WebSphere and configuring clusters
This section explains how to configure the WebSphere clusters of the sample topology. In our sample environment, the application is separated into two clusters:
- One that houses the Web containers
- One that houses the EJB containers
The Web container cluster contains all the servlets and JSP content used to provide presentation services to the application. The EJB cluster houses all the business logic and Enterprise beans that access data services when needed. In addition, we want to provide session failover and thus need to configure persistent session management.
