EhCache 3.8.1 BootstrapCacheLoader

Question

I have a problem when using cache across different modules. At first, I was using Ehcache 2.10.6 so in my configuration ehcache.xml file I had something like this:

<bootstrapCacheLoaderFactory
            class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMIBootstrapCacheLoaderFactory"/>

and I was using it as cache.bootstrap();

After upgrading to 3.x version (3.8.1) , this is not available nor I can see any replacements. Is there any replacement to do or something else to replicate the configuration above?

Thanks.

Answer 1

RMI based replication has been discontinued in Ehcache 3.x. Its implementation in Ehcache 2.x was lacking in semantics: writes could be lost, reads were not guaranteed to be consistent, etc ...

Instead you should look into cache clustering with Terracotta.
