Hi, thanks for your post in the forum. Let me describe you a little more my problem and maybe you can help me. I'm developing an application where I need to replicate some data, to do this I'm using two instance of TreeCache for simple data and I'm using PojoCache to replicate an Array List. In a first version of the application I was usin only the two instance of TreeCache and it was working fine but when start to use PojoCache it works if I run the application in only one PC (or only one JVM) but when I run it in more than one PC I got the exceptions I wrote in the forum and I don't know why. I really don't know why a transaction is holding a lock for that long, (this must be inside JBCache because I'm not using transactions). Do you have any suggestion of how can I solve this problem or how to release the lock in the node.

This is the code of the class that use PojoCache, maybe you can see an error using PojoCache in this code. (I use the method getMessageBusy() very often and from many different threads)

public class JBCacheDMS {

 private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(JBCacheDMS.class);

 protected boolean inited;

 protected PojoCache queues;

 protected HashMap<String, List> proxyQueues;

 public void init(String DMSUrl, String[] DMSnodesUrls) {
 try {
 queues = new PojoCache();
 PropertyConfigurator config = new PropertyConfigurator(); // configure tree cache.
 config.configure(queues, "config/replSync-service.xml");
 String platformName = System.getProperty("platformName");
 queues.setClusterName("DMS-" + platformName);
 queues.setCacheMode(PojoCache.REPL_SYNC);
// queues.createService();
 queues.startService();
// addTreeCacheListener();
 proxyQueues = new HashMap<String, List>();
 inited = true;
 } catch (Exception e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 }

 }

- I'm using JBossCache-1.4.0.GA
-The server 10.6.100.35 is the one that is starting, and the log snippet with the TimeOutException is from the server who starts second.

Sorry if I was a little bit confusing

Server #1 (the first to be running) is 10.6.100.35
Server #2(starts when #1 is already running) is 10.6.100.37 and in this is where I got the Exceptions

And for every TreeCache or PojoCache I'm using I use a different cluster name.

I'm using the TreeCache for a different purpose than I'm using the PojoCache . When I use the TreeCache all works fine, and when I use the PojoCache in only one PC it works fine. The problem is when I try to use the PojoCache in more than one PC.

Yes you are right the usage of PojoCache is different from the TreeCache. and there are many threads trying to access data from the PjoCache all the time.

I'm already using in my configuration REPEATABLE_READ as isolation level and 150000 as InitialStateRetrievalTimeout. And it doesn't work any way.
