      A standalone client application is calling EJBs on a backend server through an Undertow loadbalancer.

      The client looks like this:

              Properties props = new Properties();
        props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, WildFlyInitialContextFactory.class.getName());
        props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http://10.0.0.1:9080/wildfly-services");
        props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "some-user");
        props.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "some-password");

        InitialContext      ctx = new InitialContext(props);
        String name="ejb:/playground-jar/JBossManIntClientBean!org.jboss.playground.JBossManIntClient";
        JBossManIntClient bean = (JBossManIntClient) ctx.lookup(name);

      A client invoking the same EJB twice result in thousands of requests from the balancer to the backend servers, e. g.:

      • 13468 times:

      Note: This behavior only occurs if there's more than a single backend server running in a cluster...
