Maximum number of messages on 2.4.4

[eusebio]

Hi

I'm looking to use JBoss 2.4.4 to store 32000 messages (containing approx. 1.6Gb of data). This data is to be stored on the server until it can be processed at a later date.

Unfortunately, I'm restricted to the use of JBoss 2.4.4 and cannot upgrade the infrastructure.

Are there any restrictions which I should be aware of in 2.4.4? Also, is there a particular persistence manager type which I should be using in order to optimise this application?

Thanks

jboss-2.4 doesn't have a cache. I doubt your messages
will fit in memory.

Would the cache in JBoss 3 alleviate this problem? Also, I'm currently using the RollingLogged persistence manager. I believe that the single file persistence is more robust. Would it be more efficient to use that type of persistence instead?

JBoss3.x lets you overflow messages onto disk when memory
is tight.

The RollingLogged pm is supposed to be more efficient
than the File pm, I have never used the RollingLogged
version.
