Hi,
My company is planning to implement a cache for images. This interface to this
cache will be implemented a Web Service (.war file, SOAP, etc.). We are using
Java 1.4, Apache/Tomcat 5.028 for reasons of backward compatability with some
binaries (this may change). I've come across JCS and it looks good, but I'm not
sure if it's a good fit. So, please bear with my newbie-ish questions:
1) How does the cache persist between web service calls? I guess it's using a
static singleton - will this work with a web service?
2) Should images, in fact all binary data, be stored as byte arrays?
3) Did ehcache replace JCS in hibernate, and if so should I be worried about
this?
4) Is what we are trying to do appropriate for JCS?
5) Is JCS a better choice for our purposes than ehCache?
Thanks in advance for your helpful advice for this evaluation process.
Chris
