[Jpolycache-users] Status?

[Greg H. <gr...@ha...>]

I was wondering if someone had a capsule on the state of the jpolycache 
implementation, as well as a list of tasks where help might be needed.

I was in the pre-implementation phase of my own jcache mini-implementation
when I discovered this work on SourceForge, and I was able to get some things
running in a matter of an hour or so last night.  However, I generate a fair
number of errors, and without having spent a lot of time looking at the
code, it wasn't clear to me that what I was seeing was what I wanted.

Specifically, while I had objects (Strings) going into and out of the cache,
I always lost the first.  And it appeared to me that only Disk and Remote
caches were implemented at this time.

A quick rundown on what I'm doing.  I'm working on specifying and implementing
the caching infrastructure for the ArsDigita Community System, an open-source
framework for developing web applications (http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java).

Our current plan is to develop as little of a caching infrastructure as 
needed while leveraging those built by the app server vendors through a 
facade.  So far, Oracle seems to have the only worthwhile vendor-supplied
caching solution.

Anyhow, I've been told I can take some development cycles to either: a)
implement something small and limited on my own or b) contribute to another
open-source implementation.

Sorry for the rambling tone.
