Try looking at the load balancing capabilities of iPlanet as there is very
fine grained load balancing controls, can specify that it balances on the
least busy server or more detailed have it balance on the component (i.e.
servlet or EJB) you can add weighting to slew the load balancing the way you
want and. I can't remember if it goes as far as balancing on a components
methods.

Subject: Priority-based load balancing for EJB methods?
Hello all,
I'm wondering if any of the EJB vendors implement or have plans to
implement priority load balancing on Enterprise Bean methods? I'm
originally from a TUXEDO world, and it just occurred to me that most EJB
servers don't have the feature to label method X on bean Y as being higher
priority than method A on bean B, therefore calls to method X should take
place before method A (with an appropriate strategy to handle queue
starvation to ensure that method A is executed at some point in time).
TUXEDO and other structured-programming based transaction monitors
certainly have this feature, and if EJB is going to become the 'transaction
monitor for Java' standard, perhaps it should implement such a feature too?
Or have I gone wide of the mark, and the multi-threaded nature of EJB makes
this a non-issue, or a difficult issue to address?
Regards,
James W.
