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 more information, see Setting Up the ESB Samples.

Run the client:

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