If you just want a memory-only cache, then you do not need Disk Cache (DC) nor lateral cache (LTCP).
As for the concepts, they are explained at http://jakarta.apache.org/jcs/getting_started/intro.html -----Original Message----- From: Debasis Bhattacharyya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 10:47 AM To: jcs-users@jakarta.apache.org Subject: JCS data retrieval is slower than database!! Hi, I am trying to get a grip over JCS. I am able to get it working but not sure what I am doing wrong. I am putting 1000 objects in JCS. While retrieving these data, JCS is giving slower performance than what database is giving. Following is my configuration file. Any idea, tip, suggestion is greatly appreciated. Also, could you refer me to any study material about JCS. The terminologies like region, LTCP, DC are not very clear to me. # DEFAULT CACHE REGION jcs.default=DC,LTCP jcs.default.cacheattributes= org.apache.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes jcs.default.cacheattributes.MaxObjects=10000 jcs.default.cacheattributes.MemoryCacheName= org.apache.jcs.engine.memory.lru.LRUMemoryCache # PRE-DEFINED CACHE REGIONS jcs.region.testCache1=DC,LTCP jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes= org.apache.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MaxObjects=1000 jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MemoryCacheName= org.apache.jcs.engine.memory.lru.LRUMemoryCache jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.UseMemoryShrinker=true jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MaxMemoryIdleTimeSeconds=3600 jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.ShrinkerIntervalSeconds=60 jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MaxSpoolPerRun=500 jcs.region.testCache1.elementattributes=org.apache.jcs.engine.ElementAtt ributes jcs.region.testCache1.elementattributes.IsEternal=false # AVAILABLE AUXILIARY CACHES jcs.auxiliary.DC= org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.disk.indexed.IndexedDiskCacheFactory jcs.auxiliary.DC.attributes= org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.disk.indexed.IndexedDiskCacheAttributes jcs.auxiliary.DC.attributes.DiskPath=C:/Debs/cache jcs.auxiliary.DC.attributes.maxKeySize=100000 jcs.auxiliary.LTCP= org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.LateralCacheFactory jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes= org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.LateralCacheAttributes jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TransmissionTypeName=TCP jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TcpServers=localhost:1111 jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TcpListenerPort=1110 jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.PutOnlyMode=false --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
