[Hibernate-devel] distributed caching

[Christoph S. <ch...@mc...>]

Hi Gavin and others!

Yesterday I was thinking about implementing a distributed cache for =
Hibernate. I want each node to have its own cache, but if one node =
writes to its db the data should be invalidated in all caches. You once =
mentioned that hibernate would need a transaction aware distributed =
cache to support distributed caching. =20
I dont get why this is necessary. Can you tell me what kind of problems =
you think i will run into when trying to implement such a beast, and =
where you think I could start?

I was thinking about using jcs as cache, and when a session is =
committed, just invalidate all written objects in the cache.=20
