partition name should not be part of the @clustered annotation -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-436 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-436 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Clustering Affects Versions: EJB 3.0 RC4 - PFD Reporter: Martin Welss Assigned To: Bill Burke Priority: Critical Fix For: EJB 3.0 RC9 - FD Why is the partition name part of the ejb-clustering annotation? Suppose there are three clusters: one for integration, one for test, one for production and each has a distinct partition name. It would not be possible to 'move' an application from integration to test without changing the code! And because of the attributes default value, there is no way to say to the bean 'never mind the partition name, just run everywhere'
