[Tibor Biro] Yes, this is what I had in mind too. In some applications it makes sense to mirror while in others it makes sense to spread. Ideally the Grid would have to be able to support both. > But, I think we're agreed on the fact that shared memory, via some > implementation, is a real feature that's desired. [Tibor Biro] Agreed. So I'll start by adding a small feature request to sourceforge. I can take a stab at adding a Manager-centric implementation to see how things go. Then we can build on that. Nice to see some life on the list :). Tibor Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
