Hello
I have a service locater that looks up 7 stateless session beans from a initial context that is created against a cluster .
The proxies are cached to prevent subsequent lookups by the client.
the initial context url
java.naming.provider.url=10.42.7.128:1100,10.42.7.146:1100
I notice each of the 7 EJB proxies that are created, connect to a random node in the cluster. eg 3 to 10.42.7.128 and 4 to 10.42.7.146
My question is :
Is there a way to ensure that all 7 proxies connect to the same node in the cluster ?
The reason for this is that it is quite a mission to consolidate the backend logs for an entire interaction of the frontend against the cluster.
ie : The interaction is interweaved across the 2 boxes and to tie up / follow the log entries can become complex
Using a loadBalancePolicy of FirstAvailableIdenticalAllProxies looked like it would solve my problem but it did not. From what I can determine it keeps to the same node for proxy families. eg If I look up the same EJB twice, it will go to the same node.
