Re: Tomcat version in G1.1 for clustering
Hi Gianny,
Thanks for the ping. I would be happy to engage and walk through some
ideas, etc. But you hit the nail on the head...I am working hard on
trying to get us to J1 - so many hours in the day! ;-)
I am with you all the way on offering a more robust solution and am in
complete alignment on producing a pluggable solution that fits multiple
clustering solutions. I think we should be able to share some ideas and
have a great solution that fits all APIs.
Actually...I am also glad you spoke up...I need to share some ideas with
you on the OpenEJB session integration and abstracting out the
pluggability and you (the OpenEJB clustering expert) are just the person
I wanted to get some review with. ;-)
