Inquiry about using mysql router with java (tomcat server)

[Tang Hao]

Hi all,

I'm trying to improve my Java SOAP API system (tomcat server) by using mysql router to load balance read-only queries to multiple DB instances.

The problem is that: Although router is working well (I tested it by using a simple shellscript to send multiple request directly to router), the integration with java (tomcat's context.xml) doesn't work (queries were not load balanced).
I created a SO question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41607743/tomcat-config-for-mysqlrouter

Do we need to make special config to make it work?
Do we have any documentation for this use case?

Thanks,
Hao Tang
