Title: RE: Application with distributed resources I'm really interested in this kind of stuff. I have been working on this myself with Tomcat to do session failover and shared memory spaces. I found a company that's doing some interesting work with shared memory as well.

It's currently in the latest beta(5) so grab that one if you want to play around with it! ..bip
