When it stops working - mainly RMI and networks - where everything has been tried and nothing seems to work - who knows, may be some weird networking firewalls or some other devices preventing RMI to do it's thing, etc. More complex configuration than Hazelcast, etc. Please note that this is not "drop everything and use this one" kind of a message. This is just other option available out there (still in the exploratory phase) that might give "better milage" for your buck, so to speak. The software world evolves and there will always be a new a better software out there worth exploring. I am not suggesting that "CAS community" must reconsider or anything like that. Just revealing other, perhaps better option that might work much better at the end of the day. When you have a chance, please explore the documentation of Hazelcast and see what it's capable of: http://www.hazelcast.com/docs/3.0/manual/multi_html/ Best regards, Dmitriy. -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/cas-dev
