Most file-based configuration or extensions involve information that MashZone NextGen needs to connect to the MashZone NextGen Repository or extensions that must be added to the application server’s classpath. In clustered environments, you can share extensions and some of this file-based configuration using an external configuration folder. See MashZone NextGen Configuration Files That Can Be External and MashZone NextGen Extensions for details on resources that can be shared across a cluster.
Some file-based configuration, however, must reside in the web application for each MashZone NextGen Server. In clusters, this configuration must be replicated in each cluster member. See MashZone NextGen Configuration Files That Must Be Internal for details.
