Thanks Manik for your prompt response. I am including the section of the code from CacheMgmtInterceptor below. As you can see the case statement for "get" which keeps hit/miss stats count, is for "getKeyValueMethodLocal" case only. If I call the method without the key (as indicated in my previous post), the default case is invoked, so the hit/miss count is not captured. I believe this is by design and I just want to understand the semantic difference between the two cases, ie, using "get" without key has a different purpose (perhaps internally - like node visits for eviction etc - which logically should not increment the hit/miss count - but I am treading on this ice here) vs "get" with key which actually returns data and therefore should update the stats. Here is the code segment: ============================================== switch (m.getMethodId()) { case MethodDeclarations.getKeyValueMethodLocal_id: //fqn = (Fqn) args[0]; //key = args[1]; t1 = System.currentTimeMillis(); retval=super.invoke(m); t2 = System.currentTimeMillis(); if (retval == null) { m_miss_times = m_miss_times + (t2 - t1); m_misses++; } else { m_hit_times = m_hit_times + (t2 - t1); m_hits++; } break; case MethodDeclarations.putKeyValMethodLocal_id: case MethodDeclarations.putFailFastKeyValueMethodLocal_id: //fqn = (Fqn) args[1]; //key = args[2]; //value = args[3]; t1 = System.currentTimeMillis(); retval=super.invoke(m); t2 = System.currentTimeMillis(); m_store_times = m_store_times + (t2 - t1); m_stores++; break; case MethodDeclarations.putDataMethodLocal_id: case MethodDeclarations.putDataEraseMethodLocal_id: //fqn = (Fqn) args[1]; attributes = (Map)args[2]; t1 = System.currentTimeMillis(); retval=super.invoke(m); t2 = System.currentTimeMillis(); if (attributes != null && attributes.size() > 0) { m_store_times = m_store_times + (t2 - t1); m_stores = m_stores + attributes.size(); } break; case MethodDeclarations.evictNodeMethodLocal_id: case MethodDeclarations.evictVersionedNodeMethodLocal_id: //fqn = (Fqn) args[0]; retval=super.invoke(m); m_evictions++; break; default : retval=super.invoke(m); break; } return retval; } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4077280#...
