load balancing

How load balancing is done in WAS
?

load balancing is something done in a propertiery way.
WAS as such does not provide any way for how does it goes for load balancing.
Load balancing is implemented by home object of EJB(which is implementation of class created by WAS itself)

I thought load balancing was done either by Vertical and or Horizontal clustering...
What do others think?

Can some one paste the link to the load balancing algorithms IN WEBSPhere?

Cld anyon please explain me , what is meant by Vertical and horizantal clustering...

[Benny Thomas]

Well...Horizontal clustering exists when members of an application server cluster are located across multiple physical machines.
Vertical clustering occurs when members of an application server cluster are located on the same physical machine.
You can have a combination of both too...

No doubt load balancing is achieved by horizontal or vertical clustering.
But its the home object factory that implements or create instance(ejb object) at one of the servers in a cluster(in case of horizontal clustering).About vertical clustering i still needs to study...
Will back to you .

You are right about clustering but what about load balancing methods? what are the algorithms used?
