[13:41:08 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> context pooling seems to only be necessary if there is one database that multiple cas instances talk to
[14:09:50 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> You should set up the tomcat cluster first, without any apps installed
[14:10:06 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> no CAS or anything else, just the tomcat manager app
[14:12:00 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> o
[14:13:11 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> so follow the tomcat directions for clustering
[14:13:21 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> then follow https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Clustering+CAS
[14:13:26 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> that's how I'd do it
[14:13:37 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> when would i setup jpa ?
[14:14:16 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> In the CAS side
[14:14:28 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> Tomcat cluster shouldn't need it
[14:15:27 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> right
[14:15:46 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> i may have to test this with a software load balancer
[14:22:03 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> I do condulting on the side, and from my experence there I can tell you a single apache httpd server with mod_jk can be an effective load balancer for tomcat
[14:22:33 CDT(-0500)] <atilling> with the apache you can do ssl off load and other performance boosts too
[14:25:17 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> really we just need failover
[14:25:28 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> but if we are going through all of this work why not setup load balancing
[14:46:39 CDT(-0500)] <foxnesn> atilling, in your LPPE will you build in an easy way to add questions to the responses section and edit the questions?
