Hello, currently we're using JBossCache for an application that is running on about 10 machines, relying solely on a TCP stack as UDP + Broadcasting caused some problems in the past. I.e. the discovery protocol is TCPPING where we need to specify each machine separately. However, if we add a new machine the configuration need to change on every of the existing machines to be extended by the new machine. There are also some inherent problems with the TCPPING protocol regarding the handling of timeouts at discovery that must be taken care of additionally.
So the idea came up to use the TCPGOSSIP for discovery as we don't have to change the clients than anymore, and my question is how to configure the server side. The idea is to have several PCs pc1, pc2...pcN and a gossip server running. The configuration on the PCs is quite easy as we just need to specify the TCPGOSSIP server (i.e. it's ip and port). But what looks the configuration like on the central server? On the clients my configuration (partly) looks like this: <TCPGOSSIP initial_hosts="server[7800], backup[7800]"> Does this line also work on the two gossip servers (one for backup, one primary)? That means: Does the "server" machine notify he's the server itself and does he work as a gossip server automatically or does it need a different configuration from the above? Thanks & regards, Soeren Gerlach View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3925786#3925786 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3925786 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
