Chapter 5. Configuring JBoss EAP Subsystems to Work on Cloud Platforms

When a client makes a web service request using Service.create(wsdlURL, serviceName);, the user connects to the server public IP address, but is subsequently redirected to an address defined in the server configuration files in the webservices subsystem. By default, this address is ${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}, which means that on a cloud platform, the caller will be redirected to the server’s private IP address and will be unable to resolve the request. The server’s public IP address has to be configured in the wsdl-host element, using the following command:

/subsystem=webservices:write-attribute(name=wsdl-host,value=PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS)

/subsystem=webservices:write-attribute(name=wsdl-host,value=PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS)

When using messaging on a cloud platform, the connection factory that the client uses must have a connector pointing to the server’s public IP address.

For this reason a new connector and socket binding must be created for JBoss EAP servers running a full profile.

If you are using JBoss EAP HA features with clustered EJBs on a cloud platform, some extra configuration for the remoting subsystem is required to ensure EJB clients can receive cluster view updates.

This is done by configuring client-mappings for the remoting subsystem socket binding:

/socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=http:write-attribute(name=client-mappings,value=[{ "destination-address" => "PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS", "destination-port" => "8080" }])

/socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/socket-binding=http:write-attribute(name=client-mappings,value=[{ "destination-address" => "PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS", "destination-port" => "8080" }])
