Cluster Shared Cache [closed]

Answer 1

I've used a few technologies in this area, I can highly recommend JBoss Cache as the best choice for what you're trying to do. It uses JGroups as its transport, but provides a higher-level transactional abstraction. Out-of-the-box it gives you a distributed tree-node structure.

edit: Oh, and JBossCache is independent of JBoss Application Server, you can use it in any environment. If anything, it works better outside of JBossAS than it does inside it.

Answer 2

http://ehcache.org/ is very good and light cache. It can be shared between multiple JVMs. Internally it can use JGroups.

Answer 3

My option is Java Caching System from Apache, it has support of TCP Lateral Cache which in my opinion is the feature you need.

Answer 4

Have you considered Terracotta? Might be overkill: http://www.terracotta.org/web/display/orgsite/Data+Caching

There was a JSR in the area of caching a while ago, do any of the following fit the bill: http://java-source.net/open-source/cache-solutions/jcache ?

I personally used FKache a few years ago and it worked well, but I didn't use it in distributed mode.

Is it important that it's a distributed cache with local copies of data? There's also the JavaSpaces stuff if it's shared memory you need...

Answer 5

Have you considered Infinispan - http://www.jboss.org/infinispan/ ? The API is very simple and based on a standard (JSR-107). The usage is also very simple

CacheManager manager = new DefaultCacheManager(
                GlobalConfiguration.getClusteredDefault() );

Cache cache = manager.getCache();

cache.put("key", "value");
