The data of the locks must be replicated over the cluster 2. The data of the locks must not be modified at the same time to ensure their consistency (i.e 2 different users cannot add a lock on the same resource) 3. The data of the locks must be persisted     << That is right, but all the data is loaded at startup, so we know that if the data is not in the local cache, it means that it doesn't exist in the database since the only way to add data into the database is to go though the JBC instance and its CacheLoader. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/524199#524199
