Clutering Tomcats of XI R2

Hello,

We are using XI R2 on Windows servers. Is there a way to cluster two tomcats for load balancing and failover?

We currently have Tomcat running on the primary node and other servers in the cluster are running cms and other services, and the environment has slowdown quiet a bit. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Also, is there any documentation available on how to do this?

Thanks,
Kevin

The Tomcat documentation shows how to cluster your Tomcat instances but it looks quite complex I am not sure if the Tomcat version installed with XI R2 supports this.

An alternative is to cluster your services and then load balance your Tomcat instances using a load balancer.

Correct, SAP-BOBJ best practice is to put a stand-alone Web-Farm appliance in front of your TOMCAT servers.
