You are right Brian, I forgot to post the configuration. | <attribute name="BuddyReplicationConfig"> | <config> | <buddyReplicationEnabled>true</buddyReplicationEnabled> | <buddyLocatorClass>org.jboss.cache.buddyreplication.NextMemberBuddyLocator</buddyLocatorClass> | <buddyCommunicationTimeout>50000</buddyCommunicationTimeout> | <buddyLocatorProperties> | numBuddies = 1 | ignoreColocatedBuddies = true | </buddyLocatorProperties> | | <dataGravitationRemoveOnFind>true</dataGravitationRemoveOnFind> | <dataGravitationSearchBackupTrees>true</dataGravitationSearchBackupTrees> | <autoDataGravitation>false</autoDataGravitation> | </config> | </attribute> | this workaround should work fine only in case of numBuddies=1. I don't have idea how to discriminate the first buddy to force the gravitation only on it. regards gianluca -- Gianluca Puggelli skype1138 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4006412#...
