Yuriy I am not sure you want ECP in ECP all data is replicated so the local server has the same data as the central server with a time lag dependent on the comms but it can be short/instantanious
also how many local servers are there - I am guessing that there is a single central office and 1..n branch offices most of the data is held separately at the branches with only occasional referance to the center yesno?? more info needed peter On Wed, 28 Jul 2004 14:38:50 -0500, "Yuriy Toropov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi guys! > >I was looking at distributed features of Cache 5 (namely ECP) and have some >questions. >Suppose I want to write a distributed application, which have data >distributed among multiple servers. >A client connects to a local server and tries to access data, if it is not >there, remote server should be checked. >How can I do this with global mapping (other options are welcomed as well) >transparent to the client application without writing specialized Cache code >for remote server lookup code? >Ignore for now that Cache 5 does not have class mappings and imagine that >the same class definitions are deployed at both local and remote servers.
