I think there should be a failover example with finer granularity. Just like what we did

G2.2 supports unicast-based failover already. see "Creating a Static Wadi Configuration" section of [1]. I agree that we need to also support unicast-based support for Clustering of SFSB. [1]http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC22/wadi-clustering.html PS: Clustering of SFSB is mentioned in [1] also, Is it correct ? IIUC, the failover of SFSB in openEJB has no relationship with WADI at all. > > --kevan -- Shawn
