I'm interested :)

JINI-Rio-Magellan also reportedly do export
JNDI stuffs as JINI services
(http://swjscmail1.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0109&L=jini-users&P=R10042)

is it going to be somewhat like that or very much different?

One other item...the implementation is very efficient when it comes to network 
traffic.  It only uses multicast to discover new servers in the cluster.  All other 
communication is unicast.

Interesting, it that a Jini Federation ??? Do you know if it will be
possible to use the developer edition in a cluster configeration for testing
over a decent length of time ? It would be interested in looking at the
network traffic in a configeration such as that, lots of multicast
(discovery, join, and lookup) and In-memory replication.

Well I guess I'll find out all this when the beta is out :-) Great excuse to
build that test cluster I want 

Thanks

Yes.  In-memory replication for stateful session beans is supported.  
We will provide a shared global JNDI cluster tree and a federation of 
server trees.  


And, yes, Nozomi and Neo will co-exist peacefully on the same machine, 
though I don't know whether or not this is the case during their 
respective betas.

RE: newbie questions - clustering

2002-01-07 Thread Mark Field

Hi,

Currently, JRun Advanced Edition and Enterprise Edition ship with ClusterCATS.  
ClusterCATS provides HTTP load balancing and failover.  This means it sits in front of 
your web servers and distributes requests across those servers.  ClusterCATS receives 
application specific information from JRun so it makes intelligent choices about where 
to send traffic.  ClusterCATS is suited for situations where the Web Server and 
Application Server reside on the same physical machine.  We find many people are now 
using hardware devices (such as Cisco Local Director and others) for this type of 
clustering. 

The next release of JRun, code-named Nozomi, will implement clustering (load balancing 
and failover) in the application server itself.  This will provide a much more robust 
clustering solution for JRun deployments.

First, clustering functionality will reside in the Web Server Connectors themselves.  
This provides much better support for distributed configurations because load 
balancing can be done across the HTTP (web) servers with the JRun servers clustered 
behind them.  This allows configurations where there are many HTTP servers and a few 
JRun servers, or vice versa.  We will support Load Balancing, both canned algorithms 
and custom algorithms, and automatic failover.  Session state is maintained the same 
way it is in JRun 3.1.

Second, every server object in the server is clustered too.  By server object, I'm 
talking about EJB components (stateful, stateless and entity), JMS queues and topics, 
Server resources, JNDI trees and any custom service you build for JRun.  This means 
that any resource your web application depends is highly available.  Load balancing 
across these resources is also supported.

I encourage everyone to download the public beta of this release that will be 
available early next week.  I will post instructions on how to access the beta once it 
is available.

Mark

PS.  Neo is built on J2EE technology.  JRun will be the J2EE engine running inside 
Neo.  JRun will continue to be available separate from Neo as Macromedia's full blown 
J2EE application server.

We are using CF currently, but are evaluating JRun & J2EE and possibly a
mixed cf/java platform.

I've read that the current version of JRun (3.1) does not support
clustering. When is the next version release date, is there any info on the
features that will be included in this area? Will JRun be part of the NEO ??

If you can point me towards any info, that would be excellent.

RE: newbie questions - clustering

2002-01-07 Thread charlie arehart

I wonder if Justin may have been referring to object clustering (EJB, etc.)
rather than the ClusterCats aspect. Maybe someone from the Macromedia team
can indicate whether that might be a part of the next release, though it may
not be appropriate for them to even say yes or no while JRun 4 is still in
beta.

Justin-

Where did you get this information regarding clustering? ClusterCATS is
bundled with JRun 3.1 and is fully functional:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/jrun/productinfo/features/

Additionally, you should read the FAQ regarding Neo and how it works with
JRun:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/resources/neo/faq/

Also, there is a whole section devoted to Neo for those interested:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/resources/neo/

Basically, a toned-down JRun Server will be under Neo, but you will be able
to run Neo directly on top of JRun (or any other J2EE-compliant server)

Hope this helps...
