If so, can't we rely on the container clustering capabilities? Essentially yeah, if we are deploying the Registry in a servlet container we can use the container's capabilities. That would essentially save us a lot of trouble. But wouldn't that mean shipping a container along with the registry? anonymous wrote : Also, what are we talking about here? We're not building a registry. We're simply generalising a registry Inquiry abstraction that acts as a facade to some underlying concrete implementation (UDDI etc). Right. But our aim is also to keep the Registry getting tied to a concrete implementation like UDDI. I think that's where the plug-in came in didn't it? anonymous wrote : In reality, if that underlying concrete impl is not clusterable, there's no big gain in clustering the facade! Yeah/no?? True. In that case we would need to build our own cluster layer for serving the purpose. Wouldn't we? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3966736#...
