Sorry, that last message had a lot of stuff that was stripped out on the form. Here goes another try:

I have a relatively small cache in which I'm trying to put a relatively small number of items. If I run my program without AsyncCacheLoader, it operates way too slowly. If I run it with AsyncCacheLoader, after a few put()s I start to get:

ERROR - norgould.fetcher.process.WordVectorProcessor - SERIOUS ERROR: Cannout put item in word vector cache
org.jboss.util.NestedRuntimeException: Lock expired. Locker -1_Thread-10_ThreadLocker: waited for lock on database=TreeCache-Group node=57 type=READ grant=WAIT_NEW timeoutMillis=500 startTime=1136353126842 endTime=1136353127345

at org.jboss.cache.TreeCache.invokeMethod(TreeCache.java:4344)
at org.jboss.cache.TreeCache.put(TreeCache.java:3083)
at [my code]

when all I'm doing it a simple put(fqn, key, val).

In the config, my CacheLoader section looks like:

org.jboss.cache.loader.bdbje.BdbjeCacheLoader

location=/home/dlg/cache/bdbje

true
false
true
true

and I'm using the DummyTransactionManager.

Anyway, thank you for JBossCache--it looks like an amazing system (even if I'm stressing out because I have an important demo tomorrow).

Thank you for any ideas & best,
Dan

Oh, and if it matters, I have IsolationLevel at NONE. (And CacheMode at Local0

My use case is that I want to store the items on disk quickly and load from the cache, but if the occasional item doesn't get stored to disk (because the system crashed before it got written) that's ok. I just don't want to have to wait for it to get written to disk before I can do a get().

Thank you again,
Dan

Hmm. Nothing I've been trying seems to help. Has anyone here ever successfully used the AsyncCacheLoader with the current Bdbje?

Unfortunately, it's looking like I'll have to replace JBossCache with something else at this point...
