Re: [Hibernate-devel] Caching

[Gavin_King/Cirrus%<CI...@ci...>]

ummmmmm.....ignore that last comment about caching being "not at all
difficult". It *is* somewhat difficult - still doable, but not as easy
as it looked at first sight.

I'm pretty happy i got the issues of transaction isolation / data
integrity figured. The couple of problems i ran into are to do with
collections (as usual). It's going to have to work by caching
a disassembled form of the object where associations and collections
are represented by their keys. Grabbing an object from the cache
reassembles the object from its immutable fields and these keys.
Collections will have to be cached in a seperate collection cache
(or, initially, not at all).
