Re: Clustering: Monitoring...

[James Strachan]

BTW I'm not necessarily saying that the Lingo JMX connector is *the* solution, just *a* solution - but I think the general approach of using distributed JMX connectors seems like a good, standards based approach to monitoring and controlling clusters of POJOs. Then folks can choose the JMX connector that suits their needs.  Already today there are JMX connectors for HTTP, RMI and JMS and I'm sure folks could implement it on top of other things too like Jabber, WS-Notification or JBI etc.
