I have a need to communicate small amounts of data between application
instances (some on the same machine, some on others), enough for them
to make a shared decision about which one is going to be 'master'. I
looked at the Wonder default and jGroups implementations of remote
notifications, but I believe that they have the goal of sync'ing
models, which I don't need to do.
The shared info is dynamic (for example, if the master instance gets
in trouble, I want another to become the new master). I can think of
a few ways to do this: I could set up my own multicast chit-chat, I
could put the data in question in a database, I could use a networked
file, ...), but I thought I'd ask whether Wonder, with its extensive
coverage had some capability that would facilitate this .. Gavin
