Configuration​

Servlets​

Type: comma-sepratated list of servlet names

Define the servlets over which load balancing has to be done.

RetryTimeout​

Type: integer
Unit: seconds

Algorithm​

Type: enum Possible values: RoundRobin Default: RoundRobin

The load balancing algorythm to use.

IsAliveURI​

Type: string Usage Constraints: required, optional

If an IsAliveUri is set, then the LoadBalancerServlet calls this URI when the backend is down. The URI is called all RetryTimeout seconds until the backend returns a status code 200 is down. Once the backend is up, the URI is not called any more, except when the backend is marked down again after a normal request.
