Just in continuation to discussion, as Peter says, My comment would be that *data* caching should be done in the data layer
> (like I would like to make small comment on the same, Data Caching should be keeping in mind that kind of data we need to cache. If cached data is of presentation specific (like rendering drop downs etc), caching at presentation layer (in servlet context ) would be just fine. But if it is of back end processing type (i.e. Currency Exchange Rate etc), it will be advisable to maintain at data layer. - regards Raj (+91-11-31261821) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 9:15 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: some best practices questions One of our application had more than 300 screens, we used struts and most of those screens had a drop-down list. We stored all of them in servlet context, and every JSP got a copy of it in "pre-populate place holder". The peak user load was abt 500, and its working just fine...!!!
