Failing EJBs without killing server?

Question

          Hi All,
          Is there anyway to fail an EJB to cause failover without actually killing the WLS its deployed on?
          I tried undeploying an EJB using the console but that didn't work.
          I wish to verify EJB failover without the server going down.
          Thanks in advance,
          Andrew Quinan

Killing the server is one way to cause the RemoteException.
          EJB automatic failover can only happen in idempotent stateless session bean
          or read only entity bean. For other ejbs, you have to write special code in
          the CLIENT side to implement the failover.
          You can write special ejb method that can generate the RemoteException, in
          your client side code, you can catch such exception and replace the remote
          interface and make call again.
          Hope this can help.
