Picking an operation mode and configuring a shared database have been discussed earlier in this guide. In this chapter
2016-04-29 20:12:12 +00:00

NOTE: It is possible to cluster {project_name} without IP Multicast, but this topic is beyond the scope of this guide. For more information, see link:{appserver_jgroups_link}[JGroups] chapter of the _{appserver_jgroups_name}_.
