jboss cache memory and files

[dannyb23]

Hi

Can jboss cache work with a primary memory cache and a secondary file storage cache?

[belaban]

You mean cache-A without CacheLoader and cache-B with CacheLoader ? Yes

Thanks...

I need to implement a cache mechanism for big files like images, sounds, videos, mails (generaly a cache for a mailstore) i would like to know will jboss-cache be suitable for that purpose? when i have a cluster would there be much traffic between the nodes because of the size of the files? (like cached item movements?)

If the files are large, and cannot be broken down the tree further, yes, every change will trigger a replication message.

[dannyb23]

can the replication be disabled for the cache?

Yes: CacheMode=LOCAL
