Remoting fail-over with RMI

[mkruzel]

Cheers!

The question is simple. How to achieve some sort of fail over. What I want is ability of client to seamlesly reconnect to server that has become unavailable - e.g. restart of the server. Is it currently possible to implement/configure such behavior in the spring? Could aspect framework help?

Even better solution would allow to reconnect to some sort of backup server in case of a main server unavailability - transparent fail over. In addition one might want to implement load balancing, etc.

I know, this is far more complex issue, if anyone tried this with Spring I would appreciate any advice.

Hi,

I have the same problem here.

I have got a server an I export some beans via RMI.
There is also a client connection to the above server.

Can someone help me, or at least point me to some information, how I can make the client reconnect to the server, after the server was restarted, without restarting the client.

Any help is appreciated,
thx Gerwin

You could have a look at the following jira issue

That's not exactly what I was looking for,
but it was a good starting point and directed me in the direction to solve the problem.

Thanks very much,
