Clustering support services

[dmelzer]

Clustering support is mentioned as a project goal on http://www.jboss.com/products/jbossmc

I have a JB 4.x based application which uses the following services:

jboss:service=${jboss.partition.name:DefaultPartition}
jboss:service=Naming
jboss:service=HAJNDI
jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmp
jboss:service=invoker,type=jrmpha
replicated cache

I'm interested in running my application in the Microcontainer outside of the JB AS. Is clustering support targeted to coincide with the JB AS 5 release or will services which support clustering be available sooner?

Clustering is too general a word. :-)

You mean things like singleton and farm?
This deployment related, it is targetted to be a part of JBoss5.

Failover/load balancing is already provided by JBoss Remoting.
You can also already do state replication with JBoss Cache.

I am interested in both singleton and farm deployments, so thanks for the info that Microcontainer support for these capabilities is targeted for JBoss5.

Looking at the services declared in cluster-service.xml (i.e. org.jboss.ha.framework.server.ClusterPartition, org.jboss.ha.jndi.HANamingService, etc.), I was wondering if the plan is to have the Microcontainer deploy these as MBeans or whether these services will be refactored to become POJOs.

I'm mainly trying to get a feel for when I can start working on an application that leverages the cluster-service.xml services using the Microcontainer outside of JBoss.
