 2. The end user accesses a 'load balancer' by means of an alias:

-which routes the request to the server itself at lamp-api-15.rcs.le.ac.uk:80 - this machine only has port 80 accessible, so Apache is listening on port 80 and using mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http to reverse proxy to port 8080 for JBoss to pick up the request.

 It works sufficiently to show the JBoss interface and the caTissue index page.

+NOTE THAT THIS APPROACH HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH mod_jk AS PER KRISHAGNI RECOMMENDATIONS
+
+The mod_jk approach requires:
+* mod_jk to be enabled in apache
+* a mod_jk.conf with configuration options: in /local/apache2/etc/mod.d/mod_jk.conf for our servers
+* a workers.properties with settings for the specific connection to jboss: in /local/apache2/etc/conf.d/workers.properties for our servers
+* a mod_jk_log (created automatically)
+* server.xml to define the jvmRoute to match the specified connection worker: in /local/jboss/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml for our servers

 Originally I tried with jboss.server.host set to 'lcbru-catissue-dev.rcs.le.ac.uk' - this caused infinite redirect loops, and is bad. It isn't clear what this config setting is used for, and if it is used for building page URLs then the full alias is needed. I've changed this now to the actual IP address of the server itself (but this will not work if supplied to a browser as a link to a resource). It is now possible to log in to CaTissue.
