jcs - something for cayenne?

[Tore Halset <ha...@pvv.ntnu.no>]

Hello.

I was at a java user group meeting today. A guy talked about jcs and  
it looked great. I have not used it before, but perhaps it can be  
used in cayenne as an alternative to the commons LRUMap? Anyone here  
used jcs for anything?

http://jakarta.apache.org/jcs/

What I would like to have in cayenne is the option to have less  
caching on some of the tables.

It would be nice if we could make caching smarter (without  
sacrificing simplicity of the default case). One thing that has been  
pending like forever is expiring cache entries. Having per-entity  
caching policy would also be sweet. So I am all for investigating and  
prototyping JCS-based cache ... as long as it doesn't add too much  
extra weight in the default simple case.

On a side note, I think we will be changing cache format from  
DataRows (that cache DB data) to some kind of object property-based  
"rows". The new 1.2 stack came very close to that already.
