Background
The Spring HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean creates a proxy and routes every method call on this proxy to a single webserver (There are also similar beans for JMS, RMI and Burlap).
This enables you to forward method calls transparent to a server.
One drawback of this remoting solutions is the lack of failover or load balancing. This is essential when developing server to server communications, or similar critical communications.
Idea
A simple framework which
- provides a replacement for the Spring HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean
- is protocol transparent (support for JMS, RMI and Burlap as well)
- provides fallback strategies
- enables load balancing across multiple servers
- uses existing spring functionality
Goal
More reliable, robust applications.
Status
The project is still under heavy development. There is currently a working solution, which lacks some features and might not be stable under all conditions.
