Deployment in Tomcat

[mmoossen]

Hi guys!

this is just a newbie question.
i am already using jboss cache in a jboss cluster.

i also managed to use jboss cache in a standalone app.

my question is if it is possible to use jboss cache in a tomcat cluster.
makes sense to do that?
is the only way to have a clustered cache using jboss AS?

i think one possiblity could be to instantiate an standalone cache and put it into jndi of one of the nodes, and then access it from the other nodes, but i am pretty sure this is not really the best solution.

any other ideas?

thanks for any answer

Yes you can use this with Tomcat. You probably want each Tomcat node to create an instance of JBoss Cache though, and let the JBoss Cache instances form a cluster among themselves to share state.

yes that is exactly what i need, but could you please give me some clues on how to deploy jboss-cache?
i think i also will have at least to deploy jgroups too, isn't?
and the main question is how.... since i can not find nothing really useful here (but may be i am missing something):

thanx again

The Weblogic deployment example might be a good start.

JBossCache is just an ordinary class. There are many ways to deploy it. Using a servlet controller class might be appropriate.
