I totally agree, it is better having a strong API with good foundations, already thinking in all the inherent features of clustering, session replication, distributed deployment, automatic discovery, synchronization, server election, etc etc etc... than just start coding "a basic solution" and spend the time refactoring code to support new missing features which will break any code that is using the "basic" infrastructure every time a new feature is added.

I think we should try to have an agnostic API, i.e. specific to OpenEJB, which can be implemented by any clustering provider. As a matter of fact, WADI is one of the many clustering frameworks (other frameworks being Terracotta or GCache) interested to provide clustering to OpenEJB. As a side note, WADI has never actually been moved to the Apache Incubator. I know it was considered at some stage, hence this web- site; however, the move has been stopped. So, the actual site is there: http://wadi.codehaus.org/.
