Summary

JBoss clustering is an advanced cluster solution for Java Enterprise Applications. In spite of the vast number of features available, it is designed to run out of the box with minimal (or no) additional configuration.

JBoss AS 5 introduced cutting-edge clustering features such as simplified cluster isolation, improved Hibernate JPA/Hibernate caching, Web session passivation, and a better-organized configuration repository of services.

In the next chapter, we will show how you can smoothly turn your single node application to a clustered environment.
