When doing a clustered SCA invocation, if the target service is located on the same node as the service doing the call, the invocation should be local, otherwise should be remote. This provides for performance gains. As the result of applying the LoadBalance strategy, the RemoteEndpoint is returned. A check on wheter this Endpoint points to this machine or a remote one, should be done, before selecting to invokeLocal or invokeRemote in the SCAInvoker.
