Distributed cache in cluster environment

Hi,

At the present time, Toplink-Essential does not proposed a distributed cache system in a cluster environment in order to synchronized caches between several instances of a same cluster.

To solve this lack of functionnality and because my application needs it, i make an enhancement in toplink code in order to broadcast the Primary Keys and the Class name (as string) of the object that has been updated or deleted, in order to invalidate the object in all the instances that are listenning to these notifications.

The communication between all instances is based on a jms Topic (so in publish/subscribe mode) and each instance is listening to this topic and publish all notifications on object updates and deletion.

The problem i encounter is that when an instance reveives the message emited by an other, i try to resolve the class (using Class.forName()) of the object registered in the notification and a ClassNotFoundException is thrown :

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)


I try to solve this problem by setting the jar that contains this class alternatively in the following directories but it does not work :
   domains/domain1/lib/ext directory
   lib/ext directory
   lib directory


Do you have an idea to solve my problem ?

Thanks in advance for your attention.
