Could be trouble. What "mutable" means is still pretty unclear. But a twist a clustered repository is adding is the fact that a profile that doesn't change after the server starts can still change as part of the startup process. That is, a node that's been offline synchronizes its content with the cluster as part of startup. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4214244#...
