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. I am looking for a way to seamlessly access data on both servers with all possible replica syncing and caching done by a database. Is it possible in Cache?
Another concern is performance. Majority of data being accessed resides on the local server and remote server should be checked only if data is not found locally. Can Cache' handle this? Thanks a lot for your input and comments. Regards, -Yuriy
