I am affraid that the word "load balancing" doesn't appear in this entry, and the word clustering (which is linked to it but has a different meaning) appears just once and there is no link about it. To give you an example, the Jonas Users gave me this page: http://jonas.objectweb.org/JONAS_5_1_0/doc/doc-en/html/clustering_guide.html The first illustration ( http://jonas.objectweb.org/JONAS_5_1_0/doc/resources/images/clustering/clustersolution.png) illustrate very well the two types of load balancing, the HTTP one based on apache that doesn't intesrest us, and the JMS and EJB ones that interest us a lot.

I am sorry to insist so much on that point, because you are so kind to answer me so quickly, but the back-end load-balancing point is essential for us, and if we doesn't have a complete documentation on it, we won't take the risk to use Glassfish, even if it has a lot of others functionnalities that are far in advance on its competitors.
