Is BdbjeCacheLoader fine for production??

Hi,

I read in user's guide 9.3.1 that all file based cache loaders are not recommended for production use, does it also include the BdbjeCacheLoader that uses a transactional berkeleyDB?

9.3.1. File system based cache loaders
JBoss Cache ships with several cache loaders that utilize the file system as a data store. They
all require that the <loader><properties> configuration element contains a location property,
which maps to a directory to be used as a persistent store. (e.g., location=/tmp/myDataStore
). Used mainly for testing and not recommended for production use.

Thanks,

Xuetao

Jdbc itself is also ultimately file based, what is wrong with BerkeleDB?

Is it because the JdbjeCacheLoader itself is not well written?

It seems the only choice for production would be the JDBCCacheLoader if I need persistence... is this true?

Thanks!

Besides the FileCacheLoader, which is not recommended (see javadoc, it explains why), I don't see any reason why NOT to use other cache loader implementations. I think docs are misleading, others?
