Thanks for the reply. So, does that mean that when you have cache invalidation option on, even in a single-server mode, the cache will be invalidated. I thought that there would be a distinction made between a cache on a remote server and cache on a local server. i.e., in a single-server mode, since the cache is local, it would not be invalidated. In other words, this would be just like the commit A option without cache invalidation. I tried to validate this with some load tests but they were not that conclusive. Let me know if I am wrong with my assumption. Thanks. Ashish. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3964988#...
