If I understand the issue correctly... We have purchased Tangosol Coherence so if there is a way that whatever Cocoon uses is pluggable enough that a third party product could be used instead of a light-weight solution (i.e. to provide clustering support) that would be great. I believe Coherence is Jcache compliant so obviously I'd love to something compliant with that.

Hi, I agree that this is bad news. Before a decision is made one way or another, it might be a good idea to agree on minimal functionality required of a store. I'm not overly in favour of a true light-weight cache like EHCache being the only supported caching mechanism. In my usage of JCS I intend to utilise the distributed caching functionality, and see that this is a really big plus of JCS. Perhaps we need to investigate having several options for caching which are actively supported? This would allow users like myself who have Cocoon spread over multiple servers to use the advanced functionality of the distributed cache. Perhaps something light-weight like EHCache or similar could be used by default? Provided of course, that both can be actively supported ;) Would it be worth polling the users and dev lists to get something of a "wish-list" for store functionality? WDYT?

It's beginning to look less and less likely candidate for our caching needs. I've been talking with a guy on the JCS users list who has created a patch for the JCS shutdown bug I mentioned earlier. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon and I can start doing some heavy testing to see for myself.
