I am looking for some initial pointers on how to cluster a ServiceMix solution. Basically what I need is: - having 2 (or more) ServiceMix instances serving my routing needs and sharing the load - if one instance fails, other(s) continue to serve - if the failed one is brought back to life, it joins the party Searching for information confuses me since - some references (eg. http://trenaman.blogspot.fi/2010/04/four-things-you-need-to-know-about-new.html) talk about "JBI cluster engine". I don't want to use JBI. Support for it is deprecated. Is there a separate "Non-JBI cluster engine" or what is going on...? - I see a lot of mentions about "DOSGi". Do I need to worry my simple head with all that if I want to achieve clustered ServiceMix? My solution will probably have a few bundles that communicate with each other using JMS queues. Should I in that case just have 2 independent ServiceMix instances (who do not know of each other). Wouldn't that be the simplest option? I see some support for a failover configuration (http://servicemix.apache.org/docs/4.5.x/users-guide/failover.html) but what benefits would that really give (am I missing something)? Also this failover configuration does not help with load balancing since just one instance is serving requests. -- View this message in context: http://servicemix.396122.n5.nabble.com/How-do-I-cluster-ServiceMix-tp5716938.html Sent from the ServiceMix - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
