Why not use ActiveMQ for communication and take advantage of its broker network for failover?
I'd be better off leaving answering the question to Jeff, but here's my take on Jeff's proposal that may answer your question. AFAIUI, Jeff proposes a solution that doesn't need to be complicated in its first days of living. Since, everybody knows how sockets work the only issue is to combine separated Geronimo instance to a one clustered environment. The real value of the proposal is that it's that simple. A client may eventually use a better communication means like AMQ by pluggable strategies (as Jeff pointed out), but it would require more knowledge for the starters (like me) to understand and help developing it. I like the idea of doing it with the KISS principle in mind (thanks Dain). Once the master-slave and client-master communications are done (a 2/3th-closed triangle) the rest would be left to these magical pluggable solutions.
