Cool News Folks: DB Replication with XmlBlaster is now HOT !
An extensive flexible and extensible framework can be found in the org.xmlBlaster.contrib.replication package. This framework allows you among other things to replicate data from one database of a particular vendor to one of another vendor in a portable fashion. The data can be modified, filtered and transported over the most unthinkable communication protocols. Yes you can even replicate entire databases via emails and over the most fancy firewalls and security gateways.
As always, it is unnecessary but anyway worth to say that failsafe- and correct sequence delivery are guaranteed even on unreliable communication channels.
The contrib.replication requirement shows a simple usage.
