J2EE object-caching frameworks
Object caching is an important piece in the design and development
of Web portals. In a typical Web portal application, we need the
frequently accessed data in a JVM's memory, but, at the same time,
we want the ability to automatically clear the data from memory
when it's stale and refresh it with new data. Currently many open
source implementations provide object caching in J2EE Web
applications. This article describes a reusable object-caching
framework created to cache data objects in a Web portal
application. This framework can be seamlessly integrated into any
Web application. Author Srini Penchikala discusses implementing
object caching using three open source caching frameworks: Java
Caching System, OSCache, and Java Object Cache. He presents these
frameworks' installation and configuration details. Finally, he
presents a performance comparison to show the effectiveness of
caching objects.
