Hello everybody, JBoss has now monitoring capabilities for what pertain the bean cache. You can start the server and write very simple clients (see for example BeanCacheMonitor*.* files in dist/bin, where source file is in included in the jar) that give you informations about what is happening in the cache. There are 2 ways of doing so: 1) Using JMX and a sample (poll) model (in which the client queries JBoss): un-remark the last MBean in jboss.jcml and see BeanCacheMonitorJMX.java inside the jar under dist/bin for an example on how to write a client. 2) Using JMS and an event model (in which JBoss post a message on a topic): set the new parameter called BeanCacheJMSMonitoringEnabled to true in the ContainerFactory MBean in jboss.jcml, and see BeanCacheMonitorJMS.java inside the jar under dist/bin for an example on how to write a client. The 2 ways are indipendent, so you can have one, the other or both enabled at the same time. This is of course a very first draft of monitoring capabilities, that should have at least a nice GUI to show monitored informations, but this will come. If you have troubles, opinions, comments, suggestions, just post a message. Simon
