2X + Clustering

[rav]

Ah... that is something we don't discuss in the board yet, sorry.
Maybe you can drop us an email directly and we'll give you some more details.

Sorry Lapo, but nothing on my e-mail

I can see that SFS2 has an Object called DataStore which has a method postOffice and I can also see that SmartFoxServer has methods such as isClustered and setClustered but I can't find anything in the documentation about this. Is this something that isn't yet fully implemented in sfs or am I just not looking in the right place?

[Lapo]

It's for future implementations

Hi

Since clustering with Terracotta is not possible http://www.smartfoxserver.com/support/faq#BT06

I decided to do next: several sfs2x servers and cluster database.
But I have a problem, I need to send messages to users located on other sfs2x servers . How should I do it?

Thanks

check out reddis pubsub. (http://redis.io/topics/pubsub) we were using terracotta but now use this. Works great.

Could you elaborate a bit more on how this works with SFS2X?
Thanks

Hi,

We have two physical servers with Smartfox running on them. How could we establish connection between these servers in order to send(exchange) user messages with paramters between two servers? Is it possible at all for users on different physical servers to send messages to each other? Please, also add code examples if possible.

Thanks in advance

There can be several ideas that can be implemented in your extension code:
1- using regular socket connections between the two servers
2- using Java RMI, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/rmi/
2- using JMS (Java Messaging Services), http://java.sun.com/developer/technical ... merce/jms/
3- for the most adventurous a remote Actor-based library such as Akka
