Thanks again for the reply. My understanding about activation was wrong but now I am able to understand why the attribute "Activations" was not visible if passivation is false. But I am still not clear about the "Hits" and "Misses" attributes. Let me explain my situation with the following steps and their corresponding attribute values: 1) Insert /A | 2) Retrieve /A | 3) Retrieve /A | | | Output | | 1) CL Loads = 0, Hits = 0, Misses = 0, CL Misses = 0, Evictions = 0 | 2) CL Loads = 1, Hits = 0, Misses = 1, CL Misses = 0, Evictions = 0 | 3) CL Loads = 1, Hits = 0, Misses = 2, CL Misses = 0, Evictions = 0 | | Here, I think that when I retrieve the same record in Step 3, then instead of the attribute "Misses" being increased, I think the attribute "Hits" should have been increased which is not happening in my case. I also enabled the DEBUG logging for jboss cache and I got the following output after Step 2: | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=true, cache=, modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=false, cache=/4528@rachna 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=true, cache=/4528@rachna 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna/42, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=false, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna/42, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=true, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna/42/1214554449967, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=false, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 /1214554449967 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna/42/1214554449967, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=true, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 /1214554449967 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna/42/1214554449967/10156252448681560289, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.500 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=false, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 /1214554449967 0 /10156252448681560289 0 , modificationType=null, data=null, fqn=/4528@rachna/42/1214554449967/10156252448681560289, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_CREATED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.532 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=true, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 /1214554449967 0 /10156252448681560289 0 , modificationType=null, data={}, fqn=/4528@rachna/42/1214554449967/10156252448681560289, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_LOADED} | | Jun 27, 2008 01:59:27.532 PM DEBUG JBOSSCACHEEVENT_LOGGER - EventImpl{pre=false, cache=/4528@rachna 0 /42 0 /1214554449967 0 /10156252448681560289 4 , modificationType=null, data={somedata}, fqn=/4528@rachna/42/1214554449967/10156252448681560289, transaction=null, originLocal=true, targetFqn=null, successful=false, newView=null, type=NODE_LOADED} | | | | and after executing Step 3, no logging appeared in jboss cache logs.
