Hi everyone,
I have started looking into support for service invocation over HTTP.
Unlike our existing HTTP upgrade support this will map EJB
requests/responses directly to HTTP requests and responses, which should
allow it to be used behind existing load balancers.
I have started an initial description of the protocol at:
https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/wildfly-http-client/blob/master/docs/wi...
The intention is to follow HTTP semantics as closely as possible.
Clustering will be provided in a similar manner to web clustering (i.e.
it will require a load balancer, and work in a similar manner to web
clustering).
There is still plenty work that needs to be done (especially around
security), so if anyone has any feedback let me know.
One thing I was thinking was that we could possibly support multiple
marshalling strategies in the future by way of content-type, since that
header has a useful negotiation strategy already defined.
It could even be done using the defined types e.g.
application/x-ejb-invocation;version=2;m=protobuf or whatever.
Something to think about for the future...
