How does JBoss Caches replication mechanism work?
JBoss Cache leverages JGroups for network communications. A JGroups configuration section is present in your JBoss Cache configuration. A user can configure the cluster of JBoss Cache instances by sharing the same cluster name ( cluster name ). There is also an option of whether to populate the cache data upon starting a new instance in the ClusterConfig attribute. Note that once all instances join the same replication group, every replication change is propagated to all participating members. There is no mechanism for sub-partitioning where some replication can be done within only a subset of members, unless you use the Buddy Replication features. See the Users’ Guide for more details on this.
