First of all, I'm new to webobjects, please avoid RTMF answers :)

You actually should RTFM, because the FM is really good! :) Apple provides very good documentation on WO (as with everything else related do developers). Particularly, you should read the WO Deploy guide

I should have started by that, the deploy manual seems to be complete (I've read all other manuals about WO I think).


Could someone tell me where can I find some info concerning the creation of a WO cluster ?

Nop. WO is made to do that! :) You just have to build your apps with the concern that there will be a lot of instances running, not just one. So, if you have, for example, timers (maintenance tasks that run every X minutes), you cannot include them in the app (or else, every app will run them every X minutes!). You should build a separate app for that.

I have some, I think I'll to fight with thoses timers and concurrency :)


You should run several instances of your main app in each server (how many? the right number should be N * MEM = TOTAL_MEM - FREE_SPACE, where MEM is the memory your app uses, TOTAL_MEM is the total system memory, and FREE_SPACE is some free space you should leave for the OS! ;) The ideia is to fill up the server memory with instances, but do not overload the server memory, or you'll start swapping.

I know it's possible using JavaMonitor, but I want some extras info, especially if webobjects can be runned on Xserve Cluster Nodes.

Why not? Even on Mac Minis! ;) You don't need Mac OS X Server any more for deploying. A simple Tiger client will do.

My question was motivated by the text : "*Les logiciels WebObjects Deployment, NetBoot pour clients Mac OS 9 et Macintosh Manager ne sont pas fournis avec la configuration en cluster de Xserve." which can be translated into "*The softwares WebObjects Deployment, NetBoot for Mac OS 9 clients & Macintosh Manager are not bundled with the cluster configuration of Xserve."
(source : http://www.apple.com/ca/fr/xserve/cluster/specs.html)
Btw, this text is not available on the apple.com (US) and apple.com/ fr (FR) sites. This page is maybe outdated, it still mentions Mac OS 10.3 ...


Moreover, I'd like to know if I can build an EJB-like architecture with WO : some xserves serving framework objects (I have to build a really big website).

  I don't know EJB, so I'll skip that one.

Anyway, read the WO Deploy Guide from Apple. It answers (almost) all your questions about deploying.

Thank you all for your answsers

Philippe
