Using JNDI in a Clustered Environment

WebLogic’s JNDI implementation can be used in a clustered environment. Indeed, it is JNDI that provides the bedrock of many of WebLogic’s clustered services. For instance, an EJB may be deployed to a number of servers in an object-tier cluster. Servlets in the web tier can look up the EJB in the object tier’s JNDI and obtain access to one of the servers hosting the EJB; context objects even can use load-balancing logic to choose a server instance. When an EJB is deployed to several servers in the clustered object tier, the JNDI tree is updated with a cluster-aware EJB stub that records the location of each server instance hosting the EJB. Moreover, this knowledge is automatically distributed throughout the JNDI trees in the cluster. This magic is implemented partly by WebLogic’s clustered JNDI implementation, which we will now look at.

Creating a Context in a Cluster

In a clustered environment, an object may be bound to the JNDI tree of an individual server, or it may be replicated and bound to all servers in the cluster. If the JNDI binding manifests in one server only, a client must explicitly connect to that server when establishing the initial context, as discussed earlier. In most cases, the JNDI binding actually will be replicated to all servers in the JNDI tree, in which case you need only specify a name representing the WebLogic cluster, not an individual server member. When creating an initial context to a cluster, WebLogic automatically ...
