Failover Service With Proxy Configuration


About Failover Services

In a proxy configuration, a user can add a failover service for a Web service. When a request comes into the proxy server JaxView will attempt to deliver the request to the Web service. If the service is not responding then JaxView will forward the request to the Failover service.

Configuring a Failover for a Web Service

You can configure a failover for a Web service by right clicking on a Web service node and selecting "Failover Setup" menu item.

Properties

Failover Server URL: Insert the URL of the Failover service.

Disable Failover: Disable the failover. If this box is checked JaxView will NOT forward the message to the failover service. So if the original service is down a 400 error is sent back to the client

Enable Loadbalancing: Check this box to have the failover server be a load balancing server. When JaxView is used as a proxy it can balance the load between the 2 servers if this box is checked.
