I develop software for a medium sized ecommerce site.
We are currently running jboss 3.2.3 with treecache 1.01 and hybernate 2.1
Treecache is in local mode with jboss invalidation bridge for cache invalidation

Our experiences with treecache have not been great so far.

The first problem occurred during our beta launch when we were running treecache 1.0. 
The servers completely locked up, under fairly low load. Treecache 1.01 reportedly
fixed this issue. 

The big problem in moving to treecache 1.01 was that it was not available
for our version of jboss.  Treecache 1.01 relied on a newer version of jgroups which
was not available on our version of jboss. Jgroups had removed classes from the 
release instead of deprecating them. We created a frankenstein version of jgroups 
and deployed the 1.01 version of treecache.

We currently believe we are experiencing this bug 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=51539
It looks like it may be fixed in 1.02. We haven't verified that it will work with our
version of jboss and jgroups.

Version 1.1 of treecache would be the logical next step. Unfortunately 1.1 has
only been back ported to jboss 3.2.6. the first issue is that 3.2.6 is not officially 
released. The second issue is that 3.2.6 while a point release, is not a minor 
release. Major revisions have been made. Specifically, since 3.2.5, the mbean config 
files have changed for some of the services and the supported tomcat distro moved from 
4 to 5. 

Before I get flamed, I'd like to say that I do appreciate all the hard work that has 
gone into both jboss and treecache.  This is my first experience with using an open 
source app
server in a production environment. I've worked with weblogic before and we were
using version 4.5.1 service pack 4-16 for years, so its been a frustrating experience 
to be forced to do major upgrades in order to get simple fixes. We are looking at 
dedicating a resource to be involved in the community and hopefully address these 
issues.
