Sample 154: Load Balancing with Proxy Services

Note that WSO2 EI is shipped with the following changes to what is mentioned in this documentation:

<PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/samples/ directory that includes all Integration profile samples is changed to <EI_HOME>/samples/service-bus/.
<PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/samples/resources/ directory that includes all artifacts related to the Integration profile samples is changed to <EI_HOME>/samples/service-bus/resources/.

Objective: Load Balancing with Proxy Service.

Prerequisites

Start three instances of Axis2 server (on ports 9001, 9002, and 9003), and deploy the LBService to each of them. For more information, see Setting Up the ESB Samples.

Run the client:

ant loadbalancefailover -Dmode=session -Dtrpurl=http://localhost:8280/services/LBProxy
