commons cache
Hi. I am new to this list and have joined to ask some questions
regarding the commons caching subproject. I think there is a definite
need in the java community for a thin wrapper around caching
implementations such as EHCache, JCS, or SwarmCache. This wrapper would
wrap cache implementations the way commons logging wrapped logging
implementations. I looked at the commons caching page and there is
little explanation of the purpose of the project aside from the name.
The project almost seems like yet another caching implementation in
itself, not a thin wrapper (I could be wrong though since I just
quickly looked it over.).
I am wondering what the aim of commons caching is and if it's still
actively being developed? Thanks.
Karl

No, that's right, it's YACI, although I believe it pre-dates some of those
you mention.

No, it's not, although the existing code is functional.

Hi Karl, thank you for bringing this topic back up, I suggested the same
thing earlier this year (see
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=1165823
and
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=1226378)
but didn't receive much feedback. I have an implementation supporting
EHCache, JCS, OSCache and SwarmCache, I intended to host it on
SourceForge once the work on commons-configuration 1.0 is done
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencache), but if the commons
community supports this idea I'll be glad to bring the code back here
and start a proposal for a sandbox component.
Is there any interest in such a component among the jakarta-commons
developpers ?
