Tried to post this earlier. Sorry if it gets posted twice. This may be an obvious or dumb question but under EJB restrictions it says "Specifically, enterprise beans should not: ... listen on, accept connections on, or multicast from a network socket". I understand the part about listening on sockets but why is it a problem to multicast? I know EJBs can be socket clients. Isn't multicasting like being a client since you are sending out a message rather than listening for it?
Also it seems that the clustering implementations are done by multicasting, so it would seem that the Container is doing multicasting itself. I know that's a little different but I would like to know the reason why multicasting is outlawed.
