JBoss EAP / Wildfly – Three ways to invoke remote EJBs

26. September 20143. May 2018 | Heinz Wilming

The JBoss EAP / Wildfly application server provides as primary API the EJB client library to invoke remote EJB components. This client library is the implementation of the WildFly application server to invoke EJB components. The lookup of an object, such as a JMS connection factory, from the naming service is with the EJB client library not possible. For this purpose the remote naming implementation can be used. It can handle lookups of objects from the naming service. Both libraries can be used through the InitialContext of the JNDI API.

This post introduces three ways to configure the InitialContext to lookup and invoke EJB components, describes the pro and cons of each approach and introduces a combination of both libraries.

In the recent posts of this series about the clustering capabilities of the JBoss EAP6 and the AS7, we covered the basic concepts, managing cluster nodes in domain mode and scalable HA cluster topologies. This post will be about clustering capabilities for remote EJB clients. We will explain how to cluster EJB components and invoke them from a standalone remote client with client-side failover and load balancing.
