Fuse ESB - Configuring Web Service Endpoints - Enabling HA with Static Failover

Overview

To enable HA with static failover, you must do the following:

Encode replica details in your service WSDL file

You must encode the details of the replicas in your cluster in your service WSDL file. Example 65 shows a WSDL file extract that defines a service cluster of three replicas.

Example 65. Enabling HA with Static Failover—WSDL File

<wsdl:service name="ClusteredService">
    <wsdl:port binding="tns:Greeter_SOAPBinding" name="Replica1">
        <soap:address location="http://localhost:9001/SoapContext/Replica1"/>
    </wsdl:port>

    <wsdl:port binding="tns:Greeter_SOAPBinding" name="Replica2">
        <soap:address location="http://localhost:9002/SoapContext/Replica2"/>
    </wsdl:port>

    <wsdl:port binding="tns:Greeter_SOAPBinding" name="Replica3">
        <soap:address location="http://localhost:9003/SoapContext/Replica3"/>
    </wsdl:port>

</wsdl:service>

The WSDL extract shown in Example 65 can be explained as follows:

	Defines a service, `ClusterService`, which is exposed on three ports: `Replica1` `Replica2` `Replica3`
	Defines `Replica1` to expose the `ClusterService` as a SOAP over HTTP endpoint on port `9001`.
	Defines `Replica2` to expose the `ClusterService` as a SOAP over HTTP endpoint on port `9002`.
	Defines `Replica3` to expose the `ClusterService` as a SOAP over HTTP endpoint on port `9003`.

Add the clustering feature to your client configuration

In your client configuration file, add the clustering feature as shown in Example 66.
