Sheetal Vartak: Glassfish developer

Recently I started contributing to a new project called Shoal. I am very excited to share some information about this really cool component of Glassfish.

Shoal is a java based clustering
framework that provides infrastructure to build fault tolerance,
reliability and availability. It is part of the Glassfish community.

In GlassFish v2 cluster mode, Shoal GMS is used in a number of services. This list is still growing :

• Automated delegated transaction recovery
• Timer migrations
• IIOP Failover Loadbalancer
• Self Management
• Read-only Bean's cache change notifications
• Domain Admin Server for cluster health
• In-memory replication component's discovery and failure detection needs.

Shoal can be easily plugged in as an in-process
component. Now you can see how vital this project is!

Please visit the Shoal project webpage for more information.
