Hi Aaron, I'm a technical architect with Interwoven, an Enterprise Content Management software company. We are currently looking at using JCS in one of our distributed Java web applications that also uses Hibernate. I've been reading around on different forums about JCS vs the rest of the open-source caching systems and we'd like to consider it as an option, but are a bit worried about the history ( deprecated from Hibernate API as of 2.1.1 ). While I have looked around the web for some time, I can't seem to find any other good references on JCS; in fact I find some saying that it had a decent amount of bugs, esp. from one "soft-spoken" Gavin King. While I know that Gavin tends to go off the deep end sometimes, I'd really like to get your honest opinion on JCS/Hibernate integration. I've read your posts that those bugs have been fixed and also the performance comparison b/t JCS and EHCache ( now supported by Hibernate ), so that's a good start. Also, are there plans for writing a supported Hibernate CacheProvider impl? I know that there's one in pre-2.1.1 versions of Hibernte but the Cache and CacheProvider classes have changed since then. Coming with an updated impl out-of-the-box would certainly give people more good reasons to integrate JCS with Hibernate... I'd appreciate any information that you can share with us while we narrow down our provider choices. Thanks, Shanon __________________________________ Shanon Levenherz Interwoven, Inc.
