Ok, I think this bears bringing this issue up in a new thread (so people
notice it). The point I take out of this is that JCS makes it explicit
that successful persistence is not currently guaranteed (at least in the
default better-performing configuration). For all we know, this may
have been the case with JISP too but just not explicit. I don't know if
people have used our Cache as a persistence layer for application data.
I would not have recommended it before, and definitely would not now if
we go to JCS. I'm comfortable with this.
BTW, OJB can uses JCS too:
http://db.apache.org/ojb/objectcache.html
This is exactly the reason this point needs to be clear. Knowing that peristence is not guaranteed in all circumstances, I would not want anyone using our upcoming JCS Cache for persistence of critical application data without being clearly aware of the risks in the case of abnormal shutdown.
