How to configure cache expiry to none and overflowToDisk="false" in ehcache 3.5 version?

In ehcache 2.x version I have following configuration.
<cache name="basicCache"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="400"
eternal="true"
timeToIdleSeconds="0"
timeToLiveSeconds="0"
overflowToDisk="false">
</cache>
Following is the corresponding ehcache 3.x version.
<ehcache:cache alias="basicCache">
<ehcache:key-type>java.lang.Long</ehcache:key-type>
<ehcache:value-type>java.lang.String</ehcache:value-type>
<ehcache:resources>
<ehcache:heap unit=entries">400</ehcache:heap>
</ehcache:resources>
</ehcache:cache>
can someone help me to configure below attributes in ehcache 3.5.2 version.
eternal="true" and
overflowToDisk="false"

For setting eternal to true, which means the timeouts are ignored and cache will never expire. You can set this by setting expiry as none. Something like below,
<cache alias="backupCache">
<key-type>java.lang.String</key-type>
<value-type>java.lang.String</value-type>
<expiry>
<none/>
</expiry>
<resources>
<heap unit="entries">100</heap>
</resources>
</cache>
Hope this helps :)

overflowToDisk concept has been removed from the ehcache 3.x version.Refer this link for more details
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ehcache-users/FFHHhRW5hdg

And you don't have to configure overflowToDisk="false"
because is disable by default as mentioned on link below

Configuration for enabling Ehcache DiskStore

I referred this for configuring disk store for Ehcache.
Below is my configuration. But this does not seem to work. I do to see any file in d:\cache. Am I missing something ?
<diskStore path="d:\\cache" />
<cache name="cache1"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10"
maxEntriesLocalDisk="10000"
eternal="false"
diskSpoolBufferSizeMB="20"
timeToIdleSeconds="1" timeToLiveSeconds="2"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="FIFO"
transactionalMode="off">
<persistence strategy="localTempSwap" />
</cache>

Copy ehcache from one server to another

I have a tomcat server with ehcache. And I have a second tomcat with servlet. When second servlet is inited it should take ehcache from #1 and put all data to its cache.
Is there built-in mechanism such "on start replication" in ehcache? Or how can I get serialized ehcache data and then de-serialize them to ehcache. I understand that I can read all keys one by one and then all their values then serialize but maybe there's a better way?
Thanks

There is no out of the box support for what you are asking.
Alternatives are:
Ehcache clustering with Terracotta
Ehcache replication
Note that a major difference between the two is that the second option offers NO guarantees with regards to data consistency between the two Ehcache instances.
Disclaimer: I work for Terracotta on Ehcache

Here's my solution using built-in rmi replication solution:
Master config:
<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd"
updateCheck="true"
monitoring="autodetect"
dynamicConfig="true">
<cacheManagerPeerListenerFactory
class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMICacheManagerPeerListenerFactory"
properties="hostName=localhost, port=40001,
socketTimeoutMillis=2000"/>
<cache name="masterCache"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
eternal="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
timeToLiveSeconds="600"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU"
transactionalMode="off">
<cacheEventListenerFactory
class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMICacheReplicatorFactory"
properties="replicateAsynchronously=true, replicatePuts=false, replicateUpdates=false,
replicateUpdatesViaCopy=false, replicateRemovals=false "/>
<persistence strategy="none"/>
</cache>
Here I turn on RMI listener for slaves and enable RMI for cache but without any replication because I just need data on slave when it starts and that's all
Slave config:
<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd"
updateCheck="true"
monitoring="autodetect"
dynamicConfig="true">
<cacheManagerPeerProviderFactory
class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMICacheManagerPeerProviderFactory"
properties="peerDiscovery=manual,
rmiUrls=//localhost:40001/masterCache"/>
<cache name="masterCache"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"
eternal="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
timeToLiveSeconds="600"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU"
transactionalMode="off">
<bootstrapCacheLoaderFactory class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMIBootstrapCacheLoaderFactory"
properties="bootstrapAsynchronously=false"/>
<persistence strategy="none"/>
</cache>
I made RMI connection to master node and turn on cache's bootstrap.

ehcache RMI config to spring

I'm trying to move the creation of Cache that uses RMI from ehcache.xml file to a Spring xml.
It wasn't a problem to just create a EhCacheFactoryBean but how does RMICacheReplicatorFactory definition suppose to/can be implemented?
Here is how it looks in ehcache.xml file.
Many thanks,
Idan
<cache name="MyCache1"
maxElementsInMemory="1000"
eternal="false"
overflowToDisk="true"
diskSpoolBufferSizeMB="20"
timeToLiveSeconds="3000"
timeToIdleSeconds="3000"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU">
<!-- RMI replication listener -->
<cacheEventListenerFactory
class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMICacheReplicatorFactory"
properties="replicateAsynchronously=true,
replicatePuts=true,
replicatePutsViaCopy=true,
replicateUpdates=true,
replicateUpdatesViaCopy=true,
replicateRemovals=true" />
<!-- RMI Cache bootstrap -->
<bootstrapCacheLoaderFactory
class="net.sf.ehcache.distribution.RMIBootstrapCacheLoaderFactory"
properties="bootstrapAsynchronously=true, maximumChunkSizeBytes=5000000"
propertySeparator="," />
</cache>

When using Spring 3 there is a cacheEventListeners property of type Set<CacheEventListener> for the EhCacheFactoryBean (see https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-6234). When using 2.5 you could extend EhCacheFactoryBean yourself like shown here.

Not able to configure JPA with ehcache

I have been trying to configure JPA with ehcache but no success till now. The configurations which i am doing are :
persistence.xml

<property name="openjpa.DataCache" value="net.sf.ehcache.openjpa.datacache.EhCacheDataCache"/>
<property name="openjpa.RemoteCommitProvider" value="net.sf.ehcache.openjpa.datacache.NoOpRemoteCommitProvider"/>

Product.java
#Entity
#Table(name="PRODUCT")
#NamedQueries({#NamedQuery(name="getAllProducts", query = "select products from Product products")})
public class Product implements Serializable {}
I am not getting any exception but i could not see the ehcache working as nothing specific to ehcache printed in the logs.
I would really appreciate if someone can help in this.

Add the following properties in persistence.xml:
<property name="openjpa.QueryCache" value="ehcache"/>
<property name="openjpa.DataCacheManager" value="ehcache"/>
Add the following jars in classpath:ehcache-core-2.4.4.jar, ehcache-openjpa-0.2.0.jar and slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar.
That's all.

DataNucleus works perfectly fine with EHCache, with the config specified here
http://www.datanucleus.org/products/accessplatform_2_2/jpa/cache.html#ehcache
It will print log messages about the L2 cache whenever it is accessed. You don't mention your JPA provider.
