What is JBoss Cache?

JBoss Cache is a replicated and transactional cache. It is replicated since multiple JBoss Cache instances can be distributed (either within the same JVM or across several JVMs whether they reside on the same machine or on different machines on a network) and data is replicated across the whole group. It is transactional because a user can configure a JTA compliant transaction manager and make the cache operation transactional. Note that the cache can also be run without any replication; this is the local mode. Currently, JBoss Cache consists of two components: a generic cache (implemented internally as org.jboss.cache.TreeCache ) and a POJO cache (implemented internally as org.jboss.cache.aop.PojoCache ). TreeCache is a tree-structured cache that provides replication and transaction context, while PojoCache extends the functionality of TreeCache but behaves as a true object cache providing transparent and finer-grained object mapping into internal cache.
