announcing project Shoal (JXTA Based Dynamic Clustering)

[Mohamed Abdelaziz]

The Shoal <http://shoal.dev.java.net> Framework provides cluster
communication and event mechanisms. Shoal's  core service (GMS), enables
an application to dynamically become a member of  a predefined cluster,
and as such, is subscribed to cluster events, such as :

- Member join, planned shutdown, failures
<https://shoal.dev.java.net/ShoalGroupEventNotifications.html>
- Recovery member selection
- Automated delegated recovery initiation

A cluster member is also able to broadcast messages to an individual
member or all members of the cluster(see Messaging
<https://shoal.dev.java.net/ShoalMessaging.html>). In addition to
messaging, members can share data using GMS's Shared Cache (see
DistributedStateCache
<https://shoal.dev.java.net/source/browse/shoal/gms/src/java/com/sun/enterprise/ee/cms/core/DistributedStateCache.java?rev=1.2&view=markup>).

The main goal for the shoal project to provide a clustering framework
for the GlassFish project, however it does not preclude it from being
used for purposes, such as the foundation for a grid deployment, or a
deployment of a highly available service, etc.
