Hi,

I wondered if/how it is possible to configure Hibernate (3) to use a pre-deployed TreeCache.

My point is the following:
I want to use TreeCache as 2nd-level-cache in a JBoss clustered environment, but I don't want to define the exact network-parameters at packaging-time. Instead I think it would make sense if I could assume that there is a running TreeCache on the node my application will be deployed to and a reference to this could be obtained by hibernate using JNDI. Hibernate would just have to configure the eviction policy for its cache-region.

Has anyone got a solution for this environment?

bye,

Ok, just in case someone reads this later:

there is a JndiBoundTreeCacheProvider in Hibernate-3 which can be used to resolve an existing TreeCache-Instance via JNDI.

I just submitted a variant of this (an MBeanBoundTreeCacheProvider), to support lookups of existing treecaches via an MBeanServer. This is issue HHH-410 in JIRA.

bye,
Stephan
