Bonne explication des capacités de clustering de JBoss.

Chosen Software for the Application Layer: JBoss
Why JBoss?



JBoss is currently a very popular Open Source J2EE Application server. It has very easy configuration of Clustering, with features such as auto discovery of the IP address from the clients, which allows fail-over to a new machine when the one running the JNDI directory fails. The JNDI directory in a JBoss Cluster directs requests to the machine in the cluster "best suited" to handle the request, and takes machines out of the cluster when the machine appears to be failing. With the "farming" feature in a JBoss Cluster, it is possible to deploy updates across all machines in the cluster. A JBoss Cluster supports hot application deployment.
