Hi,

I have started implementing JBossCache/PojoCache and stumble to the following:

I (basically) use the config files as provided through the samples. I also play with PojoCache 2.0. Java 1.5

The Config files are below and I use the annotations as described.

The issue is the following: I have an application that is very memory consuming so I try to cache the overflow of objects to disk.
As you can see I set the cache mode to be LOCAL, cacheloader is JdbmCacheLoader is and marshallNonSerializable = true.

1. After closing the app I expect the table to be cleared but somehow this does not happen.
2. From what I understand my objects don't need to be serialized but when I don't do this jboss complains:

Jun 12, 2007 4:40:42 PM org.jboss.cache.eviction.BaseEvictionAlgorithm evictCacheNode
SEVERE: Eviction of /__JBossInternal__/9e13ccf9-0908-4234-bd1f-cf0f1deea048/1426servoy_sample_auto_pdf-1/_ID_/5c4o16-rj0vpp-f2uhehnn-1-f2uhehq1-3 failed
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.NotSerializableException: com.it2be.analyzer.repository.Style
 at org.jboss.cache.CacheImpl.invokeMethod(CacheImpl.java:3860)
.....

3. Serializing then is not the solution either. After a while (I guess when caching to disk really takes place) I see the following error:

Jun 12, 2007 5:01:42 PM org.jboss.cache.eviction.BaseEvictionAlgorithm evictCacheNode
WARNING: Eviction of /e9737027-7423-45ad-b3d7-87a5f5be2174 timed out, retrying later

and ultimately, out of the blue, I receive the next error where the class is exactly the same as the ones before:

Jun 12, 2007 5:02:46 PM org.jboss.cache.pojo.interceptors.PojoTxInterceptor invoke
WARNING: attach: exception occurred: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.InvalidClassException: com.it2be.analyzer.repository.Method; no valid constructor

I am new to caching so I hope you forgive me my ignorance and hope you can help me to solve these issues.

Thanks,

Marcel

 This is the PojoCache configuration file that specifies:

 2. Annotation binding for POJO (via "prepare" element)

 Basically, this is a variant of jboss-aop.xml. Note that
 except for the customization of interceptor stack, you should
 not need to modify this file.

 To run PojoCache, you will need to define a system property:
 jboss.aop.path that contains the path to this file such that JBoss Aop
 can locate it.
