How to access to a SessionBean in a machine since other SessionBean in other machine

Hi!

I'm using Jboss 4, and I would like to know, how I can access to a SessionBean in one machine since other SessionBean in other machine.

The SessionBean must be access to its jboss and the jboss of the other SessionBean.

I have been investigating and I have found that sinde a SessionBean must be access to an EntityBean of other machine (modifying jboss.xml and ejb-jar.xml)

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, your question is about accessing an EJB deployed onto another server instance. Because I�m not a JBoss expert, I�m goanna give you some hints but related to WebLogic (JBoss might use similar algorithms). First off all you have to understand that the server might implement a special algorithm for optimizing the access to collocated ejb objects. What I mean is this: if you have ejbA deployed to two or more WebLogic instances within a cluster and you have ejbB calling ejbA, then in order to optimize the access WebLogic will always redirect your call to the ejbA instance located on the same server instance as ejbB. And there is no way to alter this behavior. Not sure if JBoss will allow you to modify the default behavior, but I have my doubts. The only solution you have is to use a technique named "pinned services". This way you�ll use a heterogeneous deployment and you�ll deploy ejbA to a single instance in the cluster. This will force WebLogic to hit the unique ejb object, which will be located on a different server instance. Again in a homogenous deployment you have no control over the way the collocated ejb objects are called.

Thanks!!!

I have found a solution for the problem.
