Hi,

I'm considering using JCS 1.3  for a distributed registry in a Mobile 
Adhoc Network (MANET), with the following requirements:

1) No central server
2) More than one JVM per ip address

There may be more, but those are the ones that I think cause the most 
trouble.  So the first question: Can JCS do this (particularly 2)?  I've 
looked at the UDP discovery and Lateral TCP, which together suggest that 
it can. 

Next, I've tried to build a simple program that creates a cache, but it 
throws an exception about loading the config file....

./dsm-jcs.ccf exists.

getUnconfiguredInstance
INFO: Instance is null, creating with provided config

        at org.apache.jcs.JCS.getInstance(JCS.java:64)
        at Anything.main(Anything.java:21)

I'm running this from within Eclipse and the code is as follows:

        public static void main(String argv[]) throws CacheException {
                String cfg = "./dsm-jcs.ccf";
                File f = new File(cfg);
                if (f.exists())
                        System.err.println(cfg + " exists.");
                else
                        System.err.println(cfg + " does NOT exist.");
                JCS.setConfigFilename("./dsm-jcs.ccf");
            JCS jcs = JCS.getInstance("DSM"); 
            jcs.put("me", "here");
        }

with ./dsm-jcs.ccf file located in the Eclipse project directory (where 
the main() is being run). 


Thanks in advance for you help.
