Sticky Sessions

[atan20]

Hi,

I am using JBoss SOA-P in a clustered environment where clients are invoking services via the ServiceInvoker and I was wondering if it is possible to implement "sticky session" functionality?

For example, after a client has invoked a service on a JBoss SOA-P server in the cluster (Server A) all subsequent calls from that client to the cluster will be directed to the same server (Server A).

Would this be something that is configured in JBoss JMS? The only similar concept that I have found so far is "stick sessions using a HTTP gateway" and session replication, which is not what we are after.

Thanks.

This isn't provided out of the box, but load balancer strategies are customizable - you could write your own to do this.

I have been looking through the ServiceInvoker's load balancing policies and the source code for the ServiceInvoker and it seems like the "FirstAvailable" profile is what I am after.
