Larger application (spring/hibernate/ehcache) running on Terracotta

With some tweaking I managed to get one of the webapps in our current project to run using terracotta to cluster caches. The only modification I had to make was related to one of my objects not being threadsafe; actually I solved a potential concurrency problem.

Configuring Terracotta proved to be a bit more complex then I anticipated; but this might be due to my lack of Terracotta knowledge.

Here is the tc-config file I created:

[xml]

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.terracotta.org/schema/terracotta-3.xsd">

I’m not sure if it would be possible to specify the non-distributed-field in a more global way; without resolving to XML entities.
