Can Java SE applications be clustered

Question

I have numerous Corba servers and some other java apps (not web). I wish to cluster them if possible. Can this be done?

Answer 1

The fact that your applications are not web ones do not prevent them from being runnable on Java EE application servers. This would be the vest way to provide them any kind of clustering you wish, be it

• replication
• fault tolerance
• connection to distributed backend
• hot-swap upgrade

I would really suggest you give up on pure Java SE application to dive into the Java EE world.
