    Jdbc Cahce Loader Issue

    shanthi_jira



      Hi,

      I am using JBoss cache(1.4.1SP8) in webapplication which is deployed in weblogic clustered environment. I have two management ports.I am using JDBC Cache Loader and cache is clustered across the weblogic portals.

      I started the portal1 server succeessfully and cache also started. All the records are in the DB also.When I start the Portal2 server, I stop the server by killing the process before completion of startup.

      Now the DB contains very less records. I think StoreEntireState method is called by Cacheloader and it replaces the records in the db with the data which was loaded in the cache during startup of portal2 server. is it true? plese help...

      My configuration details are below

            Which server do you stop? Portal1, Portal2 or the database server?

              I think I see your problem anyway - try setting fetchPersistentState to false. You don't need to do this if your cache loader is shared.

                Hi ,

                Cache loader is shared and fetch persistent state is true.Still I am getting the same problem when I stop the portal2 by killing the process .Please help me to solve the problem.

                  Like I said, try setting fetchPersistentState to false.

                    Hi ,

                    Thanks for your suggestion. As you said, I have set fetchpersistantstate to FALSE. Now the records are NOT missing in the database during portal startup failure.

                    I want to know by setting fetchpersistentstate to FALSE, will this impact on cache clustering.

                    Please validate my understanding

                    1. I want to know the difference between fetchpersistentstate and fetchinmemorystate.

                    My understanding is below

                    (i). if fetchinmemorystate is TRUE - It acquires the initial state from the existing members in the cluster during startup
                    (ii). if fetchpersistent state is TRUE - Reads the data from database and loads the data into its cache

                    d.Retrieves the data from DB and reloads the data into its cache

                    Is my understanding on the above flow is correct?

                    2. Can we set both fetchpersistentstate and fetchinmemorystate to TRUE. If we can, please explain how it will work and the need(advantage) behind this setting.

                    3. What is the impact on cache clustering if fetchpersistentstate is set to FALSE?

                        My understanding is below

                        (i). if fetchinmemorystate is TRUE - It acquires the initial state from the existing members in the cluster during startup


                        Correct, but only from the in-memory state of neighbouring caches.

                        Wrong. If fetchPersistentState is true, then state is retrieved from the persistent state of neighbouring caches.

                        Correct.

                        You can do this if you don't have a shared cache loader, but instead configure each cache instance with it's own standalone cache loader, e.g., on a file system. This can help by loading up-to-date state from neighbouring caches' cache loaders in case your "persistent" state becomes out of date.

                        No negative impact at all since your cache loader is *shared* between all cache instances!
