[jboss-user] [Clustering/JBoss] - Re: Jgroups jboss cache deadlock

[bstansberry@jboss.com]

In general, you don't want to synchronize on the cache to do a put. I don't know your use case in enough detail (i.e. who's putting what where when) to absolutely say you shouldn't, but JBC already provides concurrency control at the individual Node level.

I don't know what your isCacheActive() call does; perhaps some synchronization is needed there.

Blocking in the GroupRequest for a while during cache replication is perfectly normal.  The caller thread sends the RPC call out to the cluster, and then blocks waiting for responses that come in separately from each cluster node.  Seeing a thread blocking there in a thread dump means nothing.  Seeing the thread continually blocking there for a long time over more than one thread dump tells you that for some reason it's taking a while for responses to come back.  The issue then is why it's taking a long time to get responses, which could be all sorts of reasons.
