Re: Load balancing using Mina example with Java DSL

[Claus Ibsen]

The load balancer example is doing request/reply messaging (aka
MessageExchangePattern (MEP) = InOut)
http://camel.apache.org/request-reply.html

The mina endpoint on the "other side" is configured with sync=true,
which tells the Mina consumer that a reply message should be sent
back, which is the message when the Camel route is "done".

I suggest you learn about more background about Apache Camel such as
reading this article
http://java.dzone.com/articles/open-source-integration-apache

And then you can take a look at some of the Enterprise Integration
Patterns (EIP)s that Camel offers
http://camel.apache.org/eip
.. for example the event message vs request/reply, and the load balancer eip.

And then look at the mina component as that is used in the example
http://camel.apache.org/mina

And there is also many 3rd party articles and blogs that can introduce
you to Camel or talk about specific use-cases
http://camel.apache.org/articles


And if you want to go more hard-core with Camel then consider some of
these books
http://camel.apache.org/books

... and later this year a 4th Camel book hit the market
http://www.packtpub.com/apache-camel-developers-cookbook/book

Re: Load balancing using Mina example with Java DSL

[pmp.martins]

I already modifed the example and it now works a little bit like the request
made  HERE

 
.

However, I still don't understand how the loadbalancer is getting the
replies. Yes, it does send the report to the direct:loadbalance URI, but
then it picks it up and sends it to the MINA servers:











In the MINA server's code, the servers are not explicitly sending anything
to the loadbalancer. 
And in the loadbalancer, the only thing that is done is using the failvoer
construct. 

There is not one single place in the code, where I actually see explicitly
what is going on, and to me, this is quite confusing.

Re: Load balancing using Mina example with Java DSL

[Willem jiang]

Hi，  

The magic is happened in the camel-context-loadbalancer.xml.
The client is not tcp client, it is just a camel client which can send the 
request to direct:loadbalance endpoint.
If you want to add third mina endpoint, you can modify the file of 
camel-context-loadbalancer.xml.
