Prerequisites
  • Start the Synapse configuration numbered 154: wso2esb-samples.sh -sn 154
  • Start three instances of Axis2 server (on ports 9001, 9002, and 9003), and deploy the LBService to each of them. For details on starting multiple Axis2 servers, see ESB Samples Setup.

Run the client:

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