Orion does cluster, and as clustering goes Orion is the easiest app server
I've seen for setting up clusters. As far as how well? I'm not entirely
sure.
We've been porting a very large app that was not designed with J2EE
compliance in mind. So far we've not had a lot of luck getting Orion
clustering working flawlessly, but I know there have been some problems from
our legacy code (objects that don't serialize properly, static objects,
etc). More recently we thought we had it beat and had clustering working in
a staging environment, but when we pushed to production we appeared to lose
information under heavy load. Still I'm not sure where the problem lies;
our code or Orion. :)
My biggest gripe about Orion clustering is that certain changes in the
cluster send the entire cluster into a wierd state. For example, alot of
the config files are loaded by a server coming into the cluster, if ANYTHING
has changed in the configs then the cluster seems to get wonky.
Basically the clustering gets most of the way to permanent uptime, but it
seems to have some kinks to work out.
