I realise this is not strictly a Postgresql problem but I wondered if anyone here was using ha-jdbc. I have tried asking on their mailing list but apart from two of my questions there has been no traffic for 24 hours and it appears to be a dead list. I have a sngle instance of ha-jdbc working talking to multiple postgresql backends. But I need to set this up for a tomcat cluster and so I want multiple ha-jdbc's talking to the same DBs. According to the docs this is what the <distributable> tag is for, but when I try to start the second tomcat server rather than joining with the first it complains of a name clash. Regards David
