To Install the Load Balancing Plug-in (standalone)
Use the procedures in this section if the load balancing plug-in is
not part of the Application Server distribution you are using. If you are using
the Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 (bundle with HADB), see To Install Application Server 9.1 with HADB for
instructions for installing the load balancing plug-in.
The load balancing plug-in is not currently bundled with the GlassFish
v2Application Server. If you want load balancing capabilities, you can download
the load balancing plug-in from the following locations:

Before you install the load balancer plug-in, ensure that you
have installed a supported web server. For a list of supported web servers,
see Web
Servers in Sun Java System Application
Server 9.1 Release Notes.

Create the lbplugin directory within <glassfish_install_dir>/lib.
-
Unjar this file in the lbplugin directory.
Run the following command: jar -xvf <lbplugin>.jar.
-
Unzip the following two files: SUNWaslb.zip and SUNWaspx.zip in the same directory. Delete the zip files.
