The aim of this wiki is to provide guidance configuring Netscaler load balancers to work adequately with JBoss AS/EAP.

Configuring Sticky Sessions

Netscaler load balancer supports sticky sessions using cookie persistence. This is the recommended configuration:

add lb vserver "<name>" HTTP <ip-address-of-jboss-instance> <port> 
  -persistenceType COOKIEINSERT -timeout 0 -redirectURL "<error-url>" 
  -cltTimeout 180 -downStateFlush DISABLED 

For example:

add lb vserver "my-jboss" HTTP 192.168.2.3 8080 
  -persistenceType COOKIEINSERT -timeout 0 -redirectURL "http://error.mydomain.com" 
  -cltTimeout 180 -downStateFlush DISABLED
