Hello all,
I am building a group of Camel routing applications whose front ends are presented a Spring Web Services. Toghether, these apps will serve as a service hub/aggregator for a client application suite. All service calls will be made by at most 3 clients that are part of that suite (for now), although we need to expect a light to moderate load in terms of number of requests from each client. This "hub" will be deployed in a virtualized environment with a load balancer in front of httpd servers (which in turn are in front of JBoss EAP). I am considering the elimination of the httpd layer because, with JBoss and the LB, I have other options for clustering and SSL implementation, and I do not need to concentrate the relatively small number of connections to the services. Does removal of the httpd layer sound reasonable, or would I be shooting myself in the foot because I have overlooked something?
I apologize if there is a more appropriate forum to use. Any advice or pointers to info will be appreciated.
