in my servlet, i have a static Hashtable which I use to "cache" information. it works fine w/ 1 server node.
in normal NON-GAE setup where you have multiple servers, this approach is not good since each server/node does not see what the other cache(static hashtable) contains. so i understand you then use memcache to share information. BUT in GAE environment, it's like a virtual super big server, so technically my app runs on this ONE big virtual server. So technically I can use the static variable to cache. So the question is in GAE environment, why would I ever use memcache? Can't I just keep static variable? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
