[jboss-user] [Clustering/JBoss] - Load-balancing is not happening in cluster

Does anybody know why stateless EJB is executed always on the node where client resides and is never load balanced? I have successfully configured a two-node JBoss cluster, and deployed an EJB module to the cluster. When running the test client to invoke the EJB, all requests are always serviced by node 1 (where ejb client resides), never by node 2. Here is another interesting detail. When client runs from outside of JBoss as stand-alone application and submits requests to JBoss cluster, the cluster routes requests to different nodes. I mean load-balancing works. Another factor in my application is, client invokes the ejb from inside JBoss. On the JBoss forum http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=112500 I found something similar to my problem, but I gess it only works for ejb 3.x, not ejb 2.x Here are configuration details: - JBoss 4.2.2-GA; - EJB client runs inside of JBoss container; - SLSB 2; - JNDI properties: java.naming.provider.url = jnp://localhost:1100 java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces jnp.partitionName=DefaultPartition - jboss.xml: <enterprise-beans> <ejb-name>SubmitterBean</ejb-name> <jndi-name>Submitter</jndi-name> true <cluster-config> <partition-name>DefaultPartition</partition-name> <home-load-balance-policy> org.jboss.ha.framework.interfaces.RoundRobin </home-load-balance-policy> <bean-load-balance-policy> org.jboss.ha.framework.interfaces.RoundRobin </bean-load-balance-policy> </cluster-config> </enterprise-beans> My client creates home stub only once and caches it. For every ejb invocation a new remote interface stub is created. In client class constructor I create home stab only once and cache it as a member variable: Properties props = new Properties(); prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory") . . . See all properties above. . . . Context ctx = new InitialContext(jndiProperties); Object obj = ctx.lookup(lookupName); m_home = (SubmitterHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, SubmitterHome.class); But for every EJB invocation I create new remote interface stub, like here: Submitter execute = null; try { execute = (Submitter) m_home.create(); execute.submitJob(m_jt); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } Any help would be much appreciated.
