The cluster mode is preconfigured to work out of the box. The eXo Platform clustering fully relies on the JBossCache replication which uses JGroups internally. The default configuration of JBossCache lies in exo.portal.component.common-x.x.x.jar. Since eXo Platform 3.5, the JCR's JBossCache configuration is externalized to the gatein.conf.dir configuration folder:
jcr - folder with cache configuration for JCR
cache - folder with cache configuration for eXo Cache
idm - folder with cache configuration for PicketLink IDM organization service
jgroups - folder with JGroups configuration used in all caches
The advanced configuration is optional and is not required in general cases. It is recommended to do an advanced configuration only in case of a need.
