Can someone point me to a step by step setup process for Clustering Tomcat4.x? The Tomcat documentations that i saw, only talk about Tomcat5.x clustering configurations Thank you. [ August 16, 2006: Message edited by: jaikiran pai ]

Are you sure Tomcat 4x supports clustering?

This is what i got from an article on Tomcat Clustering:
Clustering was available in the previous Tomcat version (version 4.1) as a third-party JAR file; it wasn't very easy to install or configure to make multiple Tomcat instances run in a cluster. JavaGroups is a popular choice for adding clustering capabilities in open source servlet containers (Tomcat) and application servers ( JBoss). But in the latest version of Tomcat server, clustering comes as part of the main installation package. This minimizes all of the extra effort that goes into integrating third-party clustering implementations into the Tomcat server.
However, i could not find a detailed explanation as to how to set it up. Reason why i am trying clustering with Tomcat4, is that we already have an application running on that version.

Personally I found the transition from Tomcat 4 to Tomcat 5.5.9 went very smoothly, you might give it a try. Bill

I had asked the same question on the Tomcat users list and here's the reply that i got:
So, moving to Tomcat-5.x for clustering is definitely what i'll be doing
