    writing to JBoss Cache Remotely

    ges

      Hi,

      I apologize if my question has already been answered here. A quick search did not reveal anything.

      I am new to JBoss Cache - I am trying to figure out if it is possible for a server to push data to a Jboss Cache remotely. For example, if I have a webapp running in JBoss in one JVM, is it possible for me to run the JBoss Cache in a different JVM and push data to it, so that this Cache node can then sync up with other cache nodes.

      Any help with this is deeply appreciated.

      Thanks
      Ges

          No. We don't distribute any code that does this, although creating a wrapper interface to do this using the technology of your choice should be trivial. I know of people who were trying to wrap the cache interface in CORBA so they could write to it from a C app, but that's an extreme case.

          Another approach would be that your front-end has a Cache instance as well, which is a part of the cluster, but configured to be a "light" member of the cluster (e.g., very aggressive eviction so memory footprint is small; no state transfer; and a clustered cache loader to load state from other cluster members as needed).

            Manik,

            I will definitely look into setting up the cache in the way you mentioned above.

            Thanks a lot!
