I'm having a similar problem in my app. I use getChildrenNames() to iterate over the tree to get my nodes, in order to print them, or do queries on them. When I set up a ClusteredCacheLoader, every call to getChildrenNames() remove the children from the cache. I have searched Jira, and found JBCACHE-622, which is similar to my problem, CacheLoaderInterceptor.loadChildren(Fqn fqn, DataNode n) returning null, and making the cache remove the nodes. I wonder why this is marked as won`t fix? I have seen printDetails in TreeCache, to see how you iterate over the nodes, but I see that you`re using Node, and is commented with: anonymous wrote : Does not load any previously evicted nodes from a cache loader, so evicted nodes will not be included. Also in the forums it states that direct access to Node`s api is not the correct way for clients, but using TreeCache`s api. How can I solve this?
