Escenic Content Engine (ECE)

The server part of Escenic content management system.

The following terminology is used when describing system architecture:

• Instance -- A single application server running with the ECE code. Typically, only one instance is possible per Java Virtual Machine, and instances cannot span JVMs.
• Cluster -- Two or more Instances which talk to the same set of underlying database and LDAP structures, and typically share a file system. Instances in a cluster are usually configured with RMI event propagation, so that caches are correctly invalidated on the other server when content is updated. It is possible to run several Instances in a cluster on the same physical machine.
