Testing JBossCache cluster nodes:

[jnorris10]

Is it possible to configure multiple nodes (in the same cluster) of JBossCache (JGroups) on a single machine and bound to the same networking interface?

The motivation for wanting to do this is to be able to test multiple JBossCache nodes in the same cluster on a single machine. Is this possible? If not, any recommendations for testing state transfers?

Sure; just check out the source code and look in the testsuite. A very large portion of the unit tests start up a couple caches in the same process, bound to the same interface. Basically, you just programatically create a couple caches using the same config, and they'll cluster. The docs explain how to programatically create caches.

Thanks, that should work well.
