Should I stay with JBossCache for a while?

[eialbur]

I am starting a new application, and I understand that JBossCache is in maintenance mode and Infinispan is active and growing.

But ...

a) I am using nothing but a TreeCache.  I have read that JBossCache is much faster than the Infinispan TreeCache (have not yet run any tests myself), and performance is the whole reason behind my using a distributed cache.

b) I am evidently very unlucky ... I keep running into documentation and implementation issues with Infinispan even when I'm doing simple things.  JBossCache has been around longer and seems to have most of those issues resolved.

I am not trying to piss off any Infinispan people ... I'm just wondering, given my total reliance on TreeCache, if I should go with JBossCache and wait a release or two to migrate to Infinispan.

Thanks

What prevents you from using solely Cache API and why do you need TreeCache API?

[eialbur]

My cached data is a strictly hierarchical data structure.

Have you thought about using JCR API? Beside of trees you have there different query languages to select data. Have a look at Modeshape. Modeshape can btw. use Infinspan as storage engine...

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide such good answers to my questions.

Modeshape looks pretty good so far ... I had never heard of it before.
