Multiple remoting connections for EJB clients

[developer251]

Hi all JBoss users!

I was reading across the EJB client docs and I just wonder, in case I have multiple available EJB receivers such as:

remote.connections=machine1,machine2

remote.connection.machine1.host=192.168.1.1

remote.connection.machine2.host=192.168.1.2

remote.connection.machine1.port = 4447

remote.connection.machine2.port = 4457

Is it possible to code or configure a rule for distributing load between the two connections ? (e.g. 70% to machine1 and 30% to machine2)

Thanks a lot

Max

Hi!

It is possible to implement a custom deployment or node selector.

The first one will choose, independent of clustering, the machine that can handle the invocation. The second one will be asked for failover, if the session data are replicated between the instances.

The default implementations of both selectors are random.

This blog post describes load-balancing and failover mechanism of the EJB client library: http://blog.akquinet.de/2012/11/09/load-balancing-and-failover-of-remote-ejb-clients-in-eap6-and-jboss-as7/
