Hi folks, At present, u cannot introduce a new LB algorithm impl without code changes. Only round-robin load balancing is supported, and the implementation has been somewhat hard-coded to use round-robin load balancing. Users cannot do a config change and incorporate a new algorithm. Ideally, we should let them specify the algorithm impl in the synapse.xml file. There are two way this may be done.
*1.* <definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse";> *<loadbalanceAlgorithms>** * * <algorithm name="ec2-autoscale-roundrobin"** ** implementation="org.apache.synapse.algorithms.Ec2AutoScaleRoundRobin"/>* * ** </loadbalanceAlgorithms>* <endpoint name="dynamicLB"> <dynamicLoadbalance failover="true" policy="*ec2-autoscale-roundrobin*"> <membershipHandler class="org.apache.synapse.core.axis2.Axis2LoadBalanceMembershipHandler"> <property name="applicationDomain" value="apache.axis2.app.domain"/> </membershipHandler> </dynamicLoadbalance> </endpoint> </definitions> *2.* <definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse";> <endpoint name="dynamicLB"> <dynamicLoadbalance failover="true" * algorithm="org.apache.synapse.algorithms.Ec2AutoScaleRoundRobin"*> <membershipHandler class="org.apache.synapse.core.axis2.Axis2LoadBalanceMembershipHandler"> <property name="applicationDomain" value="apache.axis2.app.domain"/> </membershipHandler> </dynamicLoadbalance> </endpoint> </definitions> Both approaches preserve backwards compatibility. Please send in your suggestions. -- Thanks Afkham Azeez http://afkham.org http://www.wso2.org GPG Fingerprint: 643F C2AF EB78 F886 40C9 B2A2 4AE2 C887 665E 0760
