Oh, and I should have mentioned that I get this even if the config file is empty, but here is the non-empty one....

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.
