Excellent Article on Shoal by non-Sun authors
Just came across this excellent introductory article on Shoal clustering framework on Java.net which I believe is to be published on upcoming Tuesday going by the date posted (12/11/2007).
Noticeably, this is an article by authors that we, at the Shoal community, have not yet corresponded with. This is great news as it lets us know that there is a quiet adoption of this framework. The article lucidly explains salient aspects of Shoal's clustering approach and how easy it is to integrate it into your application/infrastructure.
We hope this will make it even easier for users to adopt this technology.
Do send us your questions at the Shoal users mailing list.

Shoal Whitepaper on Scalable Dynamic Clustering
Its been a while since I have blogged. I have been rather busy managing the GlassFish v2 ur1 release which is round the corner around Dec 13/14.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Abdelaziz and I put together a Whitepaper that gives details on the scalability and dynamic clustering aspects of Shoal. The paper provides a good overview of the self composing nature of Shoal and dives deeper into the set of protocols that provide the basis for building fault tolerant infrastructures.
Shoal is coming along very well in various spaces going by the increasing hits to our website from Telco and Financial majors. We are continuously improving Shoal into a robust component based on feedback from our user community. So keep'em coming to the users mailing list.
