The Fabric Gateway provides a TCP and HTTP/S gateway for discovery, load balancing and failover of services running in a fabric. The Fabric Gateway enables you to use standard HTTP URLs to access Web applications or Web services running in a fabric. In JBoss Fuse, messaging clients can discover and connect to brokers over any supported messaging protocol (OpenWire, STOMP, MQTT, AMQP or WebSockets), letting the gateway handle the connection management to the real services running inside the fabric.
