S3C Simple Server-side Cache / News: Recent posts

The latest version 2.1 of S3C can also be deployed as a service on JBoss. The download package includes the new build file that can be used to create the SAR folder (S3C.sar). The jboss-service.xml file (that comes with the download) must be configured before deployment. The "configURL" attribute of the service MBean (jboss-service.xml) is needed; the value of this attributes is the URL of the cache configuration file 's3c.xml'.

S3C is a Simple Server-Side object Caching framework that allows web developers to cache java objects on server-side for fast retrieval. These objects can be of any type e.g. Java beans that are loaded from database. S3C makes it easier to store objects on the application server in global JNDI context and make them readily available to the application. S3C being available in global context allows more then one application to use and share the same cache and work in their own registered spaces that avoids synchronization issues.
