Not unfounded, personally proven. In any case there needs to be some sort of kickstart and executive summary for the new JBoss features. If it means that I'll finally get the answers I'm looking for without holding for three hours and/or putting up with the hellfire here, I'll be more than happy to help produce that.
I was not aware that the docs for sale were actually available. My experience has been the exact opposite. On three separate occaisons over the past couple of months I've attempted to purchase the clustering documentation. Each time I received a message saying that there was a problem with their side of the transaction and a support rep would be in contact with me. Despite multiple attempts to open communications about these cases with Flashline, they have failed to do so. Emails apparently went to the bit bucket and their phone support reps have proven to be anywhere from rude to utterly incompetant. So for my purposes, the docs aren't real because for whatever reason I can't get to them despite my willingness to pay the mere $10 for quality documentation. At least they didn't charge me for it. chris -----Original Message----- From: Bill Burke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 3:10 PM To: Trawick, James Cc: Jboss-Development@Lists.

Ask Sacha and Julian how it's going. I don't work on this stuff. HTTP Session Failover will probably only be available for Jetty. I don't know what you're talking about when you say docs for sale aren't real, because we've already sold at least a 100 copies of the clustering docs. Sacha and I have gotten good feedback on these docs so your complaints are unfounded. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Trawick, James > Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 2:28 PM > To: 'David Ward' > Cc: 'marc fleury'; Jboss-Development@Lists.

Initiate graceful failover for Server maintainance? Just gracefully shutdown jboss. The Cluster dynamically figures out topology. Topology information is piggy-backed over invocation responses to client proxies when it changes. How flexible/controllable? We wanted to keep things as simple as possible for the initial release to reduce code complexity and make sure we get the core things correct. If you want to know how flexible, buy the docs. It's only $10.00. Bill _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
