As you may already noticed, Hazelcast website now has links for documentation and the Javadoc. Documentation is not at the level that I am happy with but it will get better and better everday.
As promised before, now you can configure Hazelcast for full TCP/IP cluster. If multicast is not preferred way of discovery for your environment, then download the new zip and read the documentation.
You can also specify which network interfaces that Hazelcast should use. Servers mostly have more than one network interface so you may want to list the valid IPs. Range characters ('*' and '-') can be used for simplicity. So '10.3.10.*' means "all IPs between 10.3.10.0 and 10.3.10.255 are valid. '10.3.10.4-18' means "Hazelcast please select the interface with IP ranging from 10.3.10.4 to 10.3.10.18" (4 and 18 included). If network interface configuration is enabled (disabled by default) and if Hazelcast cannot find an matching interface, then it will print a message on console and won't start on that node.
By the way, Hazelcast is cooking to be your Http Session Cluster sometime next week...hopefully. Just like everything in Hazelcast, creating your http session cluster will be super simple. There is so much room for optimization here. Very exciting!
