[jbosscache-dev] Re: Non Blocking State Transfer Status (& Integration with JGroups)

BTW, is a *JGroups* streaming API necessary here? The old AS Farm
service passed arbitrary sized files by sending byte[] chunks via
RpcDispatcher calls. Worked fine. That's not quite what JBC would
need, since FarmService read a chunk from a FileInputStream and passed
it to JGroups; you'd want an OutputStream impl that would pass a chunk
to JGroups when it's internal buffer reached size X.
+1.
On the side: I know a <big unnamed company> uses streaming state
transfer to do this. Not really the way it was designed for, but it
works well for them.
Here's the link:

3rd posting from the top describes their approach.
I still think though that JBC implementing this via chunks would be the
better solution.
