Is OSCache2.0.2 supported with Hibernate2.1.2 when deployed to clustered Application Servers (for example, Websphere)?
The current Hibernate 2.1.2 docs online in Chapter 12 state that OSCache is not 'cluster safe':
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/html/performance.html#performance-s3
The OSCache2.0.2 docs state that OSCache has support (since 2.0) for Clustered Caches, and provides support for broadcasting stale state changes between cache instances.

Are the Hibernate docs out of date, or is there some other issue that means that OSCache is not supported for use with Hibernate if used in a cluster?
Thanks,
