Issue

Why the remote client needs to know which server in the cluster has the singleton-deployment active?
I expect that remote clients are able to invoke a the EJB method even if the application is marked as a singleton-deployment.
If the client is configured with one server of a cluster neither the invocation nor the failover works seemlessly as expected.

JavaEE application in an EAP cluster marked as singleton-deployment with a deployment-descriptor like followed

# META-INF/singleton-deployment.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<singleton-deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:singleton-deployment:1.0"/>
