7.3. Configure Replication Mode

Replication mode is a clustered cache mode in Red Hat JBoss Data Grid. Replication mode can be added to any cache container, in both Library Mode and Remote Client-Server Mode, using the following procedure.

Procedure 7.1. The replicated-cache Element

<cache-container name="clustered" 
		 default-cache="default" 
		 statistics="true">
  <!-- Additional configuration information here -->
  <replicated-cache name="default" 
      mode="SYNC"
      start="EAGER"
      statistics="true">
    <!-- Additional configuration information here -->
  </replicated-cache>
</cache-container>

Important

JGroups must be appropriately configured for clustered mode before attempting to load this configuration.
The replicated-cache element configures settings for the distributed cache using the following parameters:
  1. The name parameter provides a unique identifier for the cache.
  2. The mode parameter sets the clustered cache mode. Valid values are SYNC (synchronous) and ASYNC (asynchronous).
  3. The start parameter specifies whether the cache starts when the server starts up or when it is requested or deployed.
  4. If statistics are enabled at the container level, per-cache statistics can be selectively disabled for caches that do not require monitoring by setting the statistics attribute to false.
For details about the cache-container and locking, see the appropriate chapter.
