As I configure a server to use a different server as destination for a remote call there is a outbound-connection. But if the server behind is a member of a cluster the connection will throw a Exception: [Server:app-main] 12:29:31,732 INFO [org.jboss.ejb.client.remoting.RemotingConnectionClusterNodeManager] (ejb-client-cluster-node-connection-creation-4-thread-4) Could not create a connection for cluster node ClusterNode{clusterName='ejb', nodeName='master:app-oneB', clientMappings=[ClientMapping{sourceNetworkAddress=/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0, sourceNetworkMaskBits=0, destinationAddress='127.0.0.1', destinationPort=5147}], resolvedDestination=[Destination address=127.0.0.1, destination port=5147]} in cluster ejb: java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection? If I add the clusters.cluster.name=ejb element to the main application jboss-ejb-client.xml it will work BUT for me it make no sense to have the configuration for non-cluster in the server and for cluster in the application because it is in responsibility of the server to find the connection. Also such config sounds very confusing to me. Is there a way to configure the cluster properties also in the profile? - Wolf
