How can I update ehcache on multiple nodes?

Question

I have app that is running on two machines, and I am using the ehcache. I see that whenever I update the cache, it only updates either of the machines ehcache but not both. How can I update both? Is that even possible?

I was using EJB to do the caching but I changed it because I didn't want to use EJB just because I needed cache.

Answer 1

Are you using Enterprise Ehcache or the free open source version? The enterprise version is capable of distributed updates, not the open source one (which is standalone).

Answer 2

You may need to expose some sort of URL to update the cache directly on the nodes themselves instead of the URL that routes to each node.
