hello , how can i check server and cache is alive?
public final boolean ping() {
Status status = cache.getStatus();
return status == Status.STATUS_ALIVE;
}

this can help ?

What is the cache topology you're using ? What's the cache's config ?
This check above wouldn't tell you anything about any network status. It only says that the Cache is usable, from it's lifecycle perspective.

This is my XML file

Hi,

Try using the dev console. If you would like to do it programmatically, use CacheCluster API to check if the cluster is online.

Cheers

cachecluster api ?
how ?

i've cache object and 1 cachamanager object.
how can i access cachecluster to ping server to check alive?

can you give simple ping code example ?

I'm confused what you are trying to achieve.
From a high level perspective, if you can interact with the cache, the server should be there...

Are you trying to do something like :
Code:

if(server.ping()) 
   cache.use(); 
 else
   doSomethingElse();

?

Cause that wouldn't make much sense...
If you want resilience, you should look at non-stop caches here:
http://ehcache.org/documentation/configuration/non-stop-cache

If you want to monitor the cluster, you should probably indeed look into using the dev-console, or use JMX directly...
