Hi all,
I read in the documents of JBoss Cache (1.4.1) about passivation, and it seems that it can help me to do the following task:
I would like to set a region of 100 maxNodes, and if the number of the nodes places in the cache (for the region) exceeds 100, the nodes will be evicted, but their data will be stored in secondary storage.
I decided that my secondary storage will be a file system. so I decided to use a FIleCacheLoader.
In addition, I need replication between 2 cache instances.
Here is my configuration XML for one of the nodes:

I placed 150 objects under /people/friends, and defined my own tree listener to report me when there is an eviction.
Evictions did occur, but i saw no files in the file system.
When I switched passivation to false, I saw that immediately when I put objects in the cache, the FIleCachLoader "puts" the objects in the filesystem, but it has nothing to do with evicting them.
Can you tell me what is wrong in my configuration and if the thing I desire to do (place objects in the file system are they are evicted, and read them from the file system, when i try to access them again) is possible?
Thanks in advance,
Yair
