Hi David,
I confirm that my request relates only to stateless beans and not to
stateful beans.
Most of our business services are available for both Web and Swing
applications. The management of state is supported by these
applications. We do not use statefull beans.
Sounds like a fantastic application for Tomcat + OpenEJB and Collapsed
EARs.
For loadbalancing, I think it is enough for us to add a class
similar to
org.apache.openejb.client.StickToLastServerConnectionFactoryStrategy
(like RandomServerConnectionFactoryStrategy or
StickToNextServerConnectionFactoryStrategy) and change the method
getConnectionFactoryStrategy() of class
org.apache.openejb.client.ServerMetaData.
I take this opportunity to ask whether it is possible to extend the
method getInitialContext(Hashtable environment) of class
org.apache.openejb.client.JNDIContext to deal with a list of URLs
(for key Context.PROVIDER_URL).
That's definitely one of the options I had in mind :) If that kind of
approach would work for you, we could plum that in and additionally
add a way for you to specify the ConnectionFactoryStrategy via an
additional InitialContext param or similar.
If that works for you, can you add a JIRA for it?
Thanks for the request!
-David
