rcache-devel — For development discussions

[Peter R. <pet...@qm...>]

Hello,

I'm implementing a Hibernate cache to ensure object uniqueness for objects that are fetched from a database via independent Hibernate sessions. As you may know, objects fetched through different Hibernate sessions never share the objects in their object graph, instead duplicates are introduced, which is very annoying if the goal is to keep a consistent domain layer in memory. In order to do so, I use a Hibernate Interceptor that interacts with a cache to ensure object uniqueness.

I implemented this already for a project with NHibernate on .NET, but now I want to implement the same functionality in Java using Hibernate. I was looking for existing cache implementations that use weak references when I found the rcache project. I was wondering if this project is still maintained? I see the last-update date on the site is 2009-01-14. Is the current version stable? Has it been used in a production environment? Are you aware of your product being used in large projects, in combination with Hibernate?

Best regards,

Peter Rigole
