To properly do distributed cache management don't you need distributed
transactions?  Which means and implementation of JTA? Which starts to
look a bit like an appserver.  It seems like handling the cache would fit the

remit but not distributed transactions - at that stage you would want to use
something like session beans or some other transaction mechanism.

I guess if you compare all this to something like Objectstore then you could
picture it as providing resource transaction 2pc facilities.  Perhaps that is
a
good remit.

Cheers.
