| <title>Balancer Webapp Overview</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| The balancer webapp is an implementation of a rules-based |
| load balancer. A number of rules are provided and the |
| application is written for easy extensibility. |
| |
| <p> |
| A servlet filter is also provided along with a sample web.xml that |
| maps that filter to all requests. This is only one way |
| to use the load balancer. The user may configure multiple |
| filters each with a different rule chain mapped to |
| (possibly multiple) different url-patterns or servlets. It |
| is also possible to use rule chains within a servlet. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Please note that although this application is being distributed |
| with Tomcat, it is compliant with the Servlet Specification v2.3 |
| and is therefore portable across servlet containers that support |
| this specification. |
| </p> |

| <p> |
| The balancer webapps uses the |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester">Digester</a> |
| tool from Jakarta Commons. Digester and its dependencies are |
| included in this distribution. |

| The balancer webapp uses |

| for source-code formatting and |
| <a href="http://checkstyle.sf.net">CheckStyle</a> |
| for source-code checking. |
