What is the advantage to use zeroconf over apache tribes?
A:
Apache Tribes Cluster
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/tribes/introduction.html
SUMMARY:Tribes is a messaging framework with group communication abilities. Tribes allows you to send and receive messages over a network, it also allows for dynamic discovery of other nodes in the network.
Zeroconf
SUMMARY:The IETF Zeroconf Working Group was chartered September 1999...The specification for IPv4 Link-Local Addressing is complete, but the work to improve network ease-of-use (Zero Configuration Networking) continues. That means making it possible to take two laptop computers, and connect them with a crossover Ethernet cable, and have them communicate usefully using IP, without needing a man in a white lab coat to set it all up for you. Zeroconf is not limited to networks with just two hosts, but as we scale up our technologies to larger networks, we always have to be sure we haven't forgotten the two-devices (and no DHCP server) case.

this guide is not in Engilsh.BTW i know about zeroconf. I want to know what are the advantages in using zeroconf rather using apache tribes clustering?

tribes is a messaging framework that happens to do clustering, zeroconf/bonjour is a discovery protocol using multicast dns they aren't comparable, it is like asking should I use GCC or MS Word to cook my dinner. tribes isn't for doing clustering it just happens to be able to cluster its messaging service.

A:
viji, the two are very different technologies at different levels of a networking stack. Zeroconf helps devices get network addresses and discover services on a network, while Tribes lets Java programs talk to each other by sending serialized objects back and forth. It is a messaging framework at the application level.

A:
they aren't even the same technologies in function one is a service discovery protocol using multicast dns the other is apparently a clustered messaging server. What you really need to research is Terracotta if you want a generic clustering solution for Java programs.
