salut,
you can do either way but jini is not very stable (we are using it everyday)
and definitively not very scalable. If like most of the JMS/corba event
service you decide to support multicast, then it would reduce the footprint
and increase the stability if you don't to introduce yet another dependency.
As far I can tell jini will go under major re-organization soon or die. How
many commercial application are really using it ? the javasoft website is
not even updated on a regular basis. We are more and more questioning this
choice in our application.
I wouldn't add this dependency in your application.
BTW : TAO has a multicast implementation of the corba event service, I am
sure that the person in charge of spyderMQ could easily adapt their work (it
is in C++ and open source but the reliability layer on top of UDP is what is
interesting).
a+,
Philippe

Hello,
bugzilla is alive as of yesterday (took for ever to configure it :) and it
is being shipped out to its new home today (denver online & wantjava).
re: clustering. You seem to have a relevant experience as we need to build
the cache with distributed notifications. You seem to have used Jini for
that... hmmm I was thinking multicast messages for the notifications but
maybe jini does that better... I don't think so, but maybe I missed it.
In any case, we need to put 2.1 out the door, which will take some cycles
probably in the documentation. Then it is clustering right away.
Couple of weeks, feel free to start looking at the code. Vladimir are you
on? if so send your papers or a link to it so folks can read that.

|Hi everyone.
|
|I've only recently discovered jBoss, and I'm intrigued by the idea of
|implementing app server clustering using Jini. After perusing the list
|archives, the pertinent discussions (mostly from Rickard) seem to have
|diminished since December. What's the status? I could find no mention
|of Jini or clustering in the source. From one of Rickard's messages in
|the archives, I gathered that the most relevant information was in
|Bugzilla, but its host (telkel.com) seems to be down.
|
|By way of introduction, I recently used Jini to develop a distributed
|cache for a persistence framework deployed within Linux clusters. I'm
|very interested to understand the jBoss clustering architecture, and I'm
|happy to contribute time for development or testing.
