Separating wars and jar for clustering

[dominicus]

Which is the preferred approach to deploy an application on a clustered environment:

deploy the complete ear on all the nodes or deploy the wars and jars on different nodes ?

Thank you

I think the preferred approach is to deploy the application (e.g., the ear) to the farm directory of a node and then let JBoss distribute it throughout the cluster. There are some open issues with the farming feature so you should verify that it works properly for you in you choose this option.
