Hi
I was wondering if someone can help me decide if I can use JBoss Cache to solve following
problem:
We have a webapp that will be installed on 2 servers which in turn will be load balanced
using Cisco content switch. Web application has a user part which is to show a lot of
images and an admin part which has capability to upload images.
The problem is that right now images are just files on a disk so when upload occurs I have
to figure out how to "copy" the uploaded file onto another server.
What I would like to do is to store the uploaded image into a DB as a BLOB and then use
cache to propagate it to other server. The problem is that I don't want user end of
the app to load images from the DB but to somehow tell cache to recreate file on the disk
and access it as a regular image...
So the webapp would run on 2 servers and would share a DB. On the admin side, no matter on
which server the file gets uploaded to it will be inserted into DB. On the user side,
cache will write the file from the DB to the disk and user part of the app will just hadle
it as a regular image file.
I read JBoss Cache arhitecture and I understand I can persist the cache in the DB so it
will survive server restarts. But can i tell JBOss cache to cache to the disk?
Is there a way.....I hope I explained the situation well...
Please help
Z....
