I've tried both nsv and nscache. Both do exactly what I need, although nscache seems to do it better. My question is with nscache how can you tell if a given cache has already been created? or am I thinking about it the wrong way? Thanks for the help... -derek --- Rob Mayoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED

If the beans don't write to the database then ACID isn't even applicable. If they do write to the database, then they're doing it through the database access method and if the database is ACID compliant, so will be the writes; again, not applicable. If the data has been modified in the database a

Tim Destroying and instantiating beans is a very expensive process and if your site gets busy be sure you will regret such an approach. Our Tomcat ( http://www.free-minder.com ) site uses vanilla javabeans where user data is applied to bean properties and then database update methods are provide

EJBs can be ACID-compliant.. the key is you don't write new values to the beans. If a value needs to be updated, you write to the database and then kill and remake the bean. This way you're keeping the database as your sole data abstraction, and the beans are just a local mirror of some parts. S
