22.2.3. Configuring the JBoss Cache instance used for session state replication

cacheMode

The default is REPL_ASYNC, which specifies that a session replication message sent to the cluster does not wait for responses from other cluster nodes confirming that the message has been received and processed. The alternative mode, REPL_SYNC, offers a greater degree of confirmation that session state has been received, but reduces performance significantly. See Section 26.1.2, “Cache Mode” for further details.

enabled property in the buddyReplicationConfig section

Set to true to enable buddy replication. See Section 26.1.8, “Buddy Replication”. Default is false.

numBuddies property in the buddyReplicationConfig section

Set to a value greater than the default (1) to increase the number of backup nodes onto which sessions are replicated. Only relevant if buddy replication is enabled. See Section 26.1.8, “Buddy Replication”.

buddyPoolName property in the buddyReplicationConfig section

A way to specify a preferred replication group when buddy replication is enabled. JBoss Cache tries to pick a buddy who shares the same pool name (falling back to other buddies if not available). Only relevant if buddy replication is enabled. See Section 26.1.8, “Buddy Replication”.

multiplexerStack

Name of the JGroups protocol stack the cache should use. See Section 18.1.1, “The Channel Factory Service”.

clusterName

Identifying name JGroups will use for this cache's channel. Only change this if you create a new cache configuration, in which case this property should have a different value from all other cache configurations.
