Re: [eclipselink-users] Cache Coordination via JMS

[Christopher.Mathrusse@xxxxxxxxxx]

I'll open an enhancement request. I've
looked at the code and, you are correct, it doesn't look too difficult
(and I am adventurous) so I may give it a try, but I still think that JMS
is the simplest implementation and the most reliable.

Subject	Re: [eclipselink-users] Cache Coordination via JMS

I'm no Glassfish expert, but I would assume there should be someway to
configure JMS to have it function as needed.  At worst case you could
plugin
some third party JMS implementation, such as Oracle AQ or other such JMS
providers.

Another option is using RMI cache coordination in EclipseLink.

EclipseLink does not currently support JGroups cache coordination, although
we have done this work before in TopLink, so please log an enhancement
request for this.  It should not be too much work to get working on
your own
if you are adventurous.
