Chapter 9. Integration Modules

This chapter discusses the Terracotta Integration Module (TIM) framework, which allows you to specify sets of clustering configurations as components, and include those components in your own configuration. We will investigate how to use TIMs and how to build them from scratch, which you might do to cluster an external library or framework where you need clustering or when modularizing the clustering configuration of your own application.
