Hello, I was reading the Cluster HOWTO at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cluster-howto.html and I have already implemented it and working. I would just like one piece of information on this paragraph: Synchronous vs asynchronous is configured using the channelSendOptions flag and is an integer value. The default value for the SimpleTcpCluster/DeltaManager combo is 8, which is asynchronous.
I would like to know to which value I should set the channelSendOptions to use synchronous configuration instead and what might be the main drawbacks and advantages of that regarding a small cluster (3-4 nodes). Sorry if it is a very basic question but I am quite new to clusters. Thank you, Nuno
