Anyone know how to do server / servant replication?

[dmosses]

Hi

Ok, I've set up a simple server written in Java with a number of servants using a POA and would like to introduce some redundancy into the system using replication.

I don't really know how to go about this, so pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

could you be a bit more explicitly? Do you want to clone CORBA objects?

well, I want to be able to set the server running simultaneously in a number of different VMs (potentially on different machines although that should not be relevant) so that a client can retrieve a reference from the naming service and be connected to any one of the servers.

The servers should also be able to maintain the consistency of replicated objects that hold user data by propogating updates between them, but I should be able to work that part out once I get the first part underway.

Many thanks.

what kind of ORB are you using?

The ORB that comes with J2SE 1.4.2. - hope that's what you mean.

thanks

Yes, it what I mean. If you would use Visibroker I'd say you to sart the smart agent, but I don;t know how to do it with SUN ORB
