Axis Deployment on multiple servers on same box

[Chris Beech]

Hi all,

We have a Websphere configuration of two servers per profile per node (one
node is an AIX LPAR) - with a total of five nodes, giving us ten servers in
our cluster. Each node has two deployments, one being our main application
(containing web and EJB components) and the second being a WAR containing
our AXIS code.

We have configured our webservices in our webservice WAR with a
services.xml lilke this....

serviceGroup>
    <service name="HelloBeanService">
        <description>Hello! web service</description>
        <messageReceivers>
            <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-only";

class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.ejb.EJBInOnlyMessageReceiver"/>
        <messageReceiver mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out";

class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.ejb.EJBMessageReceiver"/>
        </messageReceivers>
        <parameter name="ServiceClass">my.ejb.HelloBusiness</parameter>
        <parameter name="remoteInterfaceName">my.ejb.Hello</parameter>
        <parameter name="homeInterfaceName">my.ejb.HelloHome</parameter>
        <parameter name="beanJndiName">my/ejb/HelloBean</parameter>
        <parameter name="providerUrl">[URL]</parameter>
         ...
     </service>
</serviceGroup>

The problem I'm having is that I need to configure the providerUrl to be
specific to each deployment of the webservice War....but I don't really
want to have to do that.

So, is there a way of specifying multiple providers or a list so the
webservice WAR calls the EJBs in its JVM, rather than all webservice EJB
invocations being routed to one of the JVMs in each node?

I hope that makes sense, happy to elaborate further if not....

Thanks in advance,

Chris
