Here's another approach: - all jgroups configs shipped with ISPN come with the SEQUENCER added - by default all messages have NO_TOTAL_ORDER flag attached - RpcManager.invoke mthods would also support a totalOrder flag (similar to OBB flag currently supported) With this approach: - we would support heterogeneous caches on the same cache manager: TO, 2PC *and* non-tx caches - we would allow existing users to switch to total order replication without the need to change the jgroups configuration - the performance penalty of having the SEQUENCER for caches that don't need it, e.g. not tx caches, is minimal by the look of the code How does it sound?
