To Migrate Rich Clients From 7 EE to 8.1 EE

1. Add the following jvm-options under java-config element for enabling RMI/IIOP failover feature:

   <jvm-config java-home=path...server-classpath=path>
     <jvm-option>
       Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.sun.appserv.ee.iiop.EEORBInitializer
     </jvm-option>
     <jvm-option>
       Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.sun.appserv.ee.iiop.EEIORInterceptorInitializer 
     </jvm-option>
     <jvm-option>
       Dcom.sun.CORBA.connection.ORBSocketFactoryClass=com.sun.appserv.enterprise.iiop.EEIIOPSocketFactory 
     </jvm-option>
   </jvm-config>

2. Add the following entry in server.xml to setup the iiop-cluster.

   <iiop-cluster> <iiop-server-instance name=<server-name>> <iiop-endpoint id=orb-listener-id, host=hostname, port=orb-listener-port/> </iiop-server-instance> </iiop-cluster>

3. Update sun-acc.xml with the following new entries:

   <property-name=¨com.sun.appserv.iiop.loadbalancingpolicy" value="ic-based" />
   <property name="com.sun.appserv.iiop.endpoints" value="hostname:port" />

   The host and port is that of ORB-lister-1 ”s which is defined under iiop-listener element in server.xml.
