Java-based clustering framework that provides infrastructure to build fault tolerance, reliability and availability.
The framework can be plugged into any product needing clustering and related distributed systems capabilities without tightly binding to a specific communications infrastructure.
The framework can be plugged in as an in-process component.
The framework offers two broad categories of public APIs:
- a Client API that allows in-process client components to be notified of cluster events and to send and receive messages to/from the group or individual members.
- a Group Communication Provider SPI that provides for integration of any group communication service provider technologies such as JXTA, JGroups, etc.
Shoal's default Group Communication Provider is JXTA given its strong credentials in the areas of security, ability to cross firewalls, virtualized networking, and several other strong group membership and communication features.
