The J2EE clustering in the CF Admin is just a tool to manage the underlying J2EE server, which by default is JRun. Unless you have a business reason to run CF on something else, I usually would just stick to JRun. An argument could be made that you get speed improvements from other J2EE platforms, but there is more overhead and knowledge required in managing those. JRun installs by default and "just works". Both sticky session and session replication work with JRun.
As far as best practice - I think the term "Best Practices" is often bandied around as if there are some kinda rules of thumb out there, and there are not. Each situation is really different and should be evaluated as such. I think you are unlikely to find a meaningful list of things you should "always do", and if you do find such a list you should almost certainly not follow it as if it were the law. -Cameron On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 9:15 AM, Arun Nallan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are considering the clustering options for load balancing/ failover in a > IIS/ JRun coldfusion environment. > > That being said, would the J2EE clustering (or the ColdFusion Enterprise > Manager via CF Admin) be the best option to go for, or what would be my > other options available.
