Hello, I have been reading about clustering within the J2EE standard, due to a request from a client that we advice them about the best way to go about providing clustering for their apps. From what I have been able to gather, there is not a clear and definite standard for clustering within J2EE, which leaves every vendor to implement their own approach (I am familiar with WebLogic and Jboss, but I would assume WebSphere also provides something in this area). My questions are:
1. Is the assessment that clustering is not well defined within J2EE, right? 2. Are there any efforts to improve this state of things by defining/improving the standards for clustering? 3. Are there any well-known open-source projects attacking the issue of clustering within J2EE? 4. What (if any) is Avalon's approach to clustering? I have never used Merlin, but I seem to remember seeing references to clustering in past messages. How is this approached in Merlin? Will it provide a "pluggable" (whatever that means in this context) clustering implementation, so that I could, for example, develop my cluster-aware app in Jboss and transparently deploy it in WebLogic? Thanks for any information and/or pointers.
