Who uses JCS

["Wyatt, Allen" <Al...@travelocity.com>]

Someone at my company made a remark in an email questioning "the future
of JCS - since no one else in the wild uses it".  I'm not sure where he
got his information.  Do we have a web page somewhere listing companies
that use JCS internally?  I would guess not.  Any rough idea how widely
it is used?

I have the same feeling, which I think is unfortunate.

After looking at many open-source caching products, JCS seems to have the
all the right featues, but just feels dead. I have not benchmarked or stress
tested JCS, but for features things look good.

Personally I think it's the web site which offer no news, no benchmarks, no
links to reviews, no requirements for developers to get involved, no easy to
use getting started guide, etc.

I would be interested to hear what others think - is there something
fundamentally wrong with JCS? Aaron seems to be great at answering
questions, and maybe there are no problems. I suspect there are some
problems but there is no FAQ or Wiki so everyone runs into the same problems
- for example I saw an email which suggested that the JGroups config was
buggy and best avoid, but I guess many people repeat the same tests and
after wasting time gave up.

I would be especially interested to hear any success stories on
distributed/remote caches.
