Yes, you can comment it if you don't use transactions anonymous wrote : | 2) I used Repeatable read as the isolation level initially, but evry now an then i get a lock time out exception from the Jboss Cache when trying to acquire a Write lock. It always complains that there is one Read Lock still not released. the application as i told is multithreaded application basically Session Beans. | Sounds like normal lock contention. Look at DeadlockTest for a simple deadlock, causing a TimeoutException. anonymous wrote : | 3) So i changed to Read Committed, and i still have the same issue. I am not sure whether there is a dead lock and the read or the write locks which some thread has is not getting released. I have increased the time out to 20 minutes, thinking that i will have give some time for the threads to gibe up the locks, but no luck. | Increasing the timeout is always a bad thing, causing threads to hang on to their locks for longer, rather than throwing a TimeoutException. Note that if you don't use transactions, this means that you acquire a lock for each method, and release it after the method returned. Use the TreeCache.printLockInfo() to see the current locks. anonymous wrote : | 4) Hence i want to use "NONE" isolation level. The data that we are caching is baiscally data from the DB and cannot be altered or changed in the DB by the users. So to reduce time to access from the DB each time, we are using Jboss Cahe and i have an eviction policy which invalidates or evicts all the data in the cache which is say 15 minutes or older. | NONE is only okay if you don't modify the cache. anonymous wrote : | So the question that i have is: are the put and get calls atomic? | Yes, they are, even without transactions being used. But you need an isolation level > READ_COMMITTED to prevent dirty reads and concurrent puts().
