Vertical clustering in Apache Tomcat 7
In the previous topics, we have discussed the different types of cluster architecture, supported by Apache Tomcat 7. It's time to take a real-time challenge to implement clustering. Let's start with vertical clustering.
For vertical clustering, we have to configure at least two instances of Apache Tomcat and the complete process consists of three stages. Let's discuss and implement the steps for vertical cluster in Tomcat 7:
