How does the Cluster work?
A Cluster object is a multi-bind mechanism that associates a name with a group of object references. The creation of a Cluster is done through a ClusterManager object reference. At creation time, the creation function for the Cluster takes in a String parameter that specifies the Criterion to be used. With a reference to a Cluster, you are able to add, remove and iterate through its members. After deciding on the composition of a Cluster, you can bind its reference with a particular name to any Context in a Naming Server. By doing so, subsequent resolve operations against the name will return a particular object reference in this Cluster.
