Hello Gavin;

(Shifted back to WebObjects-Dev as I presume you mean to target this list)

I use a messaging server (using J2EE's JMS interfaces) that has a topic configured for this purpose. You can use the free ActiveMQ to develop with, but I would tend to go for something commercial for any serious deployments. What I tend to do is to fire JSON-RPC messages into the queue and have them invoke on all the instances in the deployment. This works well for me.

cheers.

I have a need to communicate small amounts of data between application instances (some on the same machine, some on others), enough for them to make a shared decision about which one is going to be 'master'. I looked at the Wonder default and jGroups implementations of remote notifications, but I believe that they have the goal of sync'ing models, which I don't need to do.

The shared info is dynamic (for example, if the master instance gets in trouble, I want another to become the new master). I can think of a few ways to do this: I could set up my own multicast chit-chat, I could put the data in question in a database, I could use a networked file, ...), but I thought I'd ask whether Wonder, with its extensive coverage had some capability that would facilitate this .. Gavin
