I've implemented a WADIdiscoveryAgent. This agent can be either multicast or unicast based on geronimo WADI clustering setting. The underlying transportation mechanism are transparent to the agent user.
The WADIdiscoveryAgent based Farming plugin is working well now. I'm trying to test the stateless ejb. current failover example client are still based on multicast agent. p[Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY] = "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory" p[Context.PROVIDER_URL] = "*multicast*://239.255.3.2:6142?group=cluster1"; InitialContext(p) I'm wondering if there's a way like following to specify a static unicast node address in OpenEJB client code ? p[Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY] = "org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory" p[Context.PROVIDER_URL] = "*ejbd://192.168.1.2:4221*?group=cluster1 , * ejbd://10.2.1.2:4221*?group=cluster1, *ejbd://192.168.1.2:4221* ?group=cluster1"; InitialContext(p) On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 6:23 PM, David Blevins <david.blev...@visi.com>wrote: > > On Feb 3, 2010, at 9:57 AM, Shawn Jiang wrote: > > There are some discussions before that we should use WADI instead of >> discoveryAgent to track cluster nodes. >> >> >> http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Pulling-Geronimo-Configuration-td21962048s134.html >> >> I would like to give it a try instead of implementing another discovery >> agent. >> > > A WADI implementation of the DiscoveryAgent interface might work.
