[CFCDev] caching service

[Matt Liotta]

I am in the middle of writing a small caching service that needs to be 
accessible from both Java and CFML. As such, I am implementing it in 
Java and plan to wrap the Java API with CFCs. If others are interested 
in such a thing I would be happy to share the code. However, I would be 
most interested in what people are looking for in terms of 
functionality and API as that would help me create an initial version 
that was better all around.

Right now I am leaning towards a design with three main interfaces, 
Policy, Stash, and Cache. Polices inform the cache on how it should 
expire objects and possibly make decisions on what objects should be 
removed in the case of a full cache. Stashes implement the persistence 
of the cache itself. I plan on only creating a memory and file system 
based stash to begin with. Finally, the caches provide caching services 
based on a defined policy using a specified stash.
