Hibernate clustering, load balancing?

tomunix · **Posted:** Thu Mar 25, 2004 5:35 am

Could anyone plz help us with clustering, load balancing with hibernate?
We have three replicated (used to support load balancing) servers running tomcat, how can we make hibernate cache states in all the servers synchronize together (so client's request can be served the same in any server)?
we haven't try Tangosol Coherence Cache, anyone know any other cache mechanism?
Thanks in advance!

Try JBossCache

Does jboss cache run on WebSphere? I couldn't figure out how to get it a transaction manager.

If you're asking how to get a transaction manager in WebSphere, try the static methods (these are being used in the Spring framework)

com.ibm.ejs.jts.jta.JTSXA.getTransactionManager() (v4) or com.ibm.ejs.jts.jta.TransactionManagerFactory.getTransactionManager() (v5)

How do I configure JBoss Cache? I'm working on getting it up and running under WAS 5, but the docs for JBoss Cache are (understandably) JBoss-centric. Is there a place where I can put an XML configuration, or do I need to configure it programmatically?

I was also looking at using the WAS DistributedMap, which could easily be adapted to work with Hibernate, and provide all the functionality of JBossCache (transactional, replicated), but DistributedMap seems to only be configurable under WAS Enterprise, although it's supported in WAS 5 (WAS uses it for HTTP session replication, et al).
