RE: CLUSTERING PROBLEM FINALLY SOLVED!!

[Tony J. Brooks]

Hi Mike,   I don't doubt you when you say you've had problems, but plenty of others (including myself) have managed to cluster Orion easily in the past (okay - I don't include the loadbalancer.jar in that statement about it being easy - when we were using it, it was buggy as hell, and quite probably still is).  Without looking up the documentation to try and confirm that the bits you need aren't there, my guess is that perhaps something has changed in a recent version of Orion and the documentation hasn't been updated to correspond.   All the best, Tony.   -----Original Message----- From: Mike N.
