I generally prefer solutions based on C and C++ because of the performance advantage and they are nice and compact and can be packaged up into a nice executable or shared library. I have had very bad experiences with Java and performance issues - even with JIT. It also requires a massive JRE to be running on the machine that consumes memory and cpu cycles like there is no tomorrow. Java is a nice tool to replace cobol and to develop payroll and web applications, but I do not prefer it for core systems development.
Either way I would love to see and test your solution and thanks for making it available to the public.

I am having a hard time selecting a Replication/Failover/HA solution for PGSQL. What is troubling is the number of solutions available in various states of development. Does the fact that dbmirror and rserv appear in the contrib directory, mean that they should be looked upon with more legitimacy? Any suggestions?
Some code that descended from rserv is about to be released to the community. We use it today in production. It's pretty rough around the edges, and it depends on Java, if you can stand that, but it's definitely battle-tested.
