Dynamic Configuration Management For Clustered Java EE

I have posted a tech. brief at http://www.ashishbanerjee.com/dyna-config-25may07.pdf
This technical brief, first describes the dynamic application specific configuration, then describes an use-case scenario. Thereafter, design constrains and solution architecture is described. Two
implementations are proposed.

Also a programmer's guideline is provided for using the dynamically configurable application parameters.

It is concluded that a JNDI wrapped LDAP store is the best solution, followed by Entity Beans and
finally by Java Spaces.

However, all the three implementations are transparent to the application programmer, who uses JNDI abstraction to access the parameters.
