Ok, so it looks like good progress is being made on failover :) What is there left to do? My understanding is the remaining pieces are: Load balancing policy for determining which server to initially connect to. (Re-use from remoting). Mechanism for propagating changes in the client side server list from the server to the client when a jgroups view change occurs. I.e. when a new node joins / leaves. (Do we re-use from remoting here too?) "Valve" functionality to stall any activity on connections when server failover is occurring. Replaying of delivered messages to the ServerConmsumerEndpoint so the delivery list can be recreated. Anything else?
