JNDI and Clustering

From the client's perspective, a WebLogic cluster should appear as one high-performance and fault-tolerant server. This idea carries over to the WebLogic cluster's shared JNDI naming service. The naming service is fault-tolerant because the naming service survives server failures in the cluster. As new servers join the cluster, they automatically participate in the naming service. The naming service is high-performance because each server runs the naming service in parallel, and client requests can be processed on many servers simultaneously.
