Subject: RE: DistributedManager Qustion
Server A has a catastrophic failure and dies (or some idiot unplugs it).
ROTFL - I was doing a customer install once and left for the night. When
the cleaning lady came in she needed to plug in her vacuum cleaner. Guess
where she found the outlet. Oddly enough, this was at a hospital.
In my early days, I heard a story that I *hope* wasn't really true, about
a computer user who was afraid to go to the bathroom at the office,
because every time she did, the server crashed.
It seems that (being good energy efficient folks) they only turned the
bathroom light on when it was in use. But there was a serial RS232 cable
between her terminal and the server (I told you this was early days :-),
right next to the light fixture -- so turning on the light induced enough
current noise to confuse the serial port on the computer and make it stop
responding ...
Sorry I can't actually answer the question, but you brought back a painful
memory.
To keep this message from being totally off topic, I would consider the
DistributedManager code (and the Cluster stuff) in Tomcat 4 to be
experimental. I've certainly never tried to use it myself, even in a test
environment.
