What are the pros and cons to using a serverside cache or proxy cache with Flex and AMF?
I can see a cache on a web service that is primarily a lookup service, but don't see much if any benefit to a cache related to transactions, and for lookup, except for really large data sets I think a client side actionscript object will be every bit as effective, and for really large data sets you don't want to fetch more than you need anyway so a cache won't do much there either. I think server side cache is best for pages of information like HTML pages, XML documents, JSP pages where the content is keyed in the cache by the URL for the GET, and anything else is a waste of effort or worse due to stale data in the cache. But what do I know? If I knew everything I wouldn't ask. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Server-Side-Cache-and-AMF-tp21406354p21406354.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
