Hello --

I have a storage service that uses JBossCache, and it's what we use in  
production.  I find it to be much more stable than the terracotta  
solution, which crashed very frequently early on in my testing, even  
without any data!

I keep hoping to find time to release the code so that others can use  
it if they desire, but I just haven't had the time to write up how to  
use it, and it's probably tied to the version of JBossCache (1.4.1,  
definitely not the latest) that is in JBoss 4.2.x.  I'd be more than  
happy to share the code (and JBoss AOP configuration), though...
