Hi Jamie!
In the upcoming 2.1 release it will be possible to switch off caching by configuration. It will also be possible to use a mode that allows for intra-transaction caching which is much faster, but enables clustering.

Slightly off topic but... I'm going to try using cjdbc (http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/c-jdbc) to connect a JDBCStore to two databases in order to create a fault tolerant webdav service. There will also be two slide servers:
-------- -------- | slide | | slide | | server | | server | | 1 | | 2 | -------- -------- | | -------- -------- | CJDBC |----| CJDBC | --------\ /-------- | \ / | | \/ | -------- /\ -------- | DB1 |/ \| DB2 | -------- --------
If one slide server or one database becomes unavailable the system will still be operational. In order for this to work neither slide server should cache (if 1 updates the db and 2 has a cached version, 2 will not see the update).
I had a quick look at the src for slide 2.0 and it looks like caching is not configurable (cacheResults returns true in org/apache/slide/common/AbstractServiceBase.java). So, just to confirm, in order to switch caching off I will have to extend JDBCStore and overide cacheResults to return false?
In addition I would be interested if anyone has any feedback on the above architecture (eg will it work?). It does not have to be super responsive but must be fault tolerant because, if all goes well, many other business critical systems will be relying on the system availability.
Regards,
Jamie.

Hi Oliver,
thank you for the quick response. Sorry, but I copied it from cvs head. It's not fixed there. Below are the ID tags.

for the project I'm working in I need to change the caching behaviour of Slide. Looking at StandardStore, which does the caching, I wonder:
If caching is disabled, read calls are forwarded to super (AbstractStore), which then calls the actual Store implementation.
If caching is enabled but the object to read is not in the cache, the calls are not forwarded to super but to the actual Store implementation, e.g. DescriptorsStore.
Why is it done this way? Is it just style? When super is called, the Stores are listed in a transaction...
I guess you are referring to 2.0, right? I have done this stuff and as far as I remember, it was just non sense and I fixed it in the current CVS head.
