We ran into this same issue. The problem lies in the shutdown method itself calling the method that defaults to the RMI port 1099. You need to modify the shutdown method to call the method that will accept a port of your choice and then it will work. This will still throw an exception but it will shutdown. We modified the JCS code further to ignore the exception because it is due to another part of the code which tries to make a call after the actual shutdown occurs, therefore, you get an exception. If you do the same thing you should not have a problem with getting this task to work.
As another note, however, we are having problems in our production environment when using the shutdown method in this manner while there is site traffic. From time to time we are getting core and java dumps when executing the modified shutdown process. Sometime this week we will be figuring out why this is occuring and further modifying the JCS code. In the meantime, we have gone back to using the "kill" method which works fine. Hope this helps.

Are there any plans to fix this in the next release? If so, do you have a rough idea of when this might be fixed, I would appreciate it if you could tell me. This bug bear is making things messy for a production application shutdown.

Just to confirm. In your system, do all the (5 or 6) tomcat instances use precisely the same cache.ccf? In other words, are they using exactly the same cache on disk, and exactly the same cached data? That is what I want to do - well, maybe not quite 5 or 6 instances, but at least 2 or 3. If they do, I'm wondering how you get all the instances to synch the cache data and key index across the instance's in-memory cache - or, does it just work? -- Russell =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Aaron Smuts wrote: > --- Russell East <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Couple of questions: > >> 1) I suppose that only one application instance >> at a time, on a >> particular computer, can reliably use a jcs region, >> right? >> > > No. I run upwards of 5 or 6 tomcat instances running > different applications each using JCS on a single box. > If they are using distribution plugins that require > them to bind to aprticular port, then I just configure > them to listen to different ports. > > >> 2) is there any code to synch access to the same >> cache region within >> 2 or more apps running on the same machine? >> > > Yes.
