7.7.2. Standalone and In-server Client Configuration

To connect an EJB client to a clustered EJB application, you need to expand the existing configuration in standalone EJB client or In-server EJB client to include cluster connection configuration. The jboss-ejb-client.properties for standalone EJB client, or even jboss-ejb-client.xml file for a server-side application must be expanded to include a cluster configuration.
The following example shows connection configuration for a standalone EJB client. The following example only shows the additional cluster configuration. The next example (Configuring jboss-ejb-client.xml file) shows the complete configuration:

Example 7.3. Standalone client with jboss-ejb-client.properties configuration

remote.clusters=ejb
remote.cluster.ejb.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false
remote.cluster.ejb.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false
remote.cluster.ejb.username=test
remote.cluster.ejb.password=password
If an application uses the remote-outbound-connection, you need to configure jboss-ejb-client.xml file and add cluster configuration as shown in the following example:

Example 7.4. Client application which is deployed in another EAP 6 instance (Configuring jboss-ejb-client.xml file)

<jboss-ejb-client xmlns:xsi="urn:jboss:ejb-client:1.2" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="jboss-ejb-client_1_2.xsd">
   <client-context>
      <ejb-receivers>
            <!-- this is the connection to access the app-one -->
        <remoting-ejb-receiver outbound-connection-ref="remote-ejb-connection-1" />
            <!-- this is the connection to access the app-two -->
        <remoting-ejb-receiver outbound-connection-ref="remote-ejb-connection-2" />
      </ejb-receivers>
        
<!-- if an outbound connection connects to a cluster; a list of members is provided after successful connection.
To connect to this node this cluster element must be defined. -->
        
    <clusters>
       <!-- cluster of remote-ejb-connection-1 -->
       <cluster name="ejb" security-realm="ejb-security-realm-1" username="quickuser1">
          <connection-creation-options>
            <property name="org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED" value="false" />
            <property name="org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS" value="false" />
          </connection-creation-options>
       </cluster>
    </clusters>
   </client-context>
</jboss-ejb-client>

Note

For a secure connection you need to add the credentials to cluster configuration in order to avoid an authentication exception.
