Hi JBossCache folks. We have a number of use cases where we need to maintain state across application servers. Specifically, one application in one cluster may need to save a conversation before redirecting to another application in yet another cluster.
So, the use case is: * App 1 stores data in the cache * App 1 redirects to App 2 (via HTTP forward) * App 2 removes the stored data from the cache We have had the following problems: 1. We cannot use IP multicast or UDP to let the caches communicate. The only way I have found to get them to discover one another is through the use of TCPPING. 2. It seems as though *sometimes* App 2 cannot find the node in the cache region after redirect, but sometimes it can. The problem is hard to reproduce, as if the App 2 cache joins the App 1 cache for the first time, it works fine, but if the membership was already established, the data is not replicated to App 2. I assume this is because ClusteredCacheLoader fetches the state only on first join. It would seem as though we need to use synchronous replication rather than invalidation, but the manual seems to advise against that if at all possible. So I have no idea how to change the configuration to fulfill the use case. I'll note that we're running under WebSphere 6 and instantiating the conversation cache manually. (Not as a server-wide mbean.) Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
