Hi, C-JDBC (http://c-jdbc.objectweb.org) is an open source project that provides transparent database clustering to Java applications. From the application server point of view, it is just a regular JDBC driver. But underneath you have a Java middleware that provides replication techniques to achieve both performance scalability and fault tolerance using regular open source databases (in fact any database that provides a JDBC driver). I think C-JDBC could contribute to Geronimo to offer an end-to-end clustering solution (having both clustering at the J2EE server level and also at the database level) using open source software on commodity hardware. No special effort should be necessary in Geronimo development to integrate C-JDBC since it interfaces with JDBC without requiring any application modification. You can download both documentation and source or binaries from http://c-jdbc.objectweb.org/download.html. Let us know if you think that C-JDBC could be of interest for the Geronimo community. Hope to hear from you soon, Emmanuel
