Hibernate Caching

Published by Anders at 20:47 under Java

Caching is an essential component in any ORM solution. Without it it is impossible to obtain a decent performance, and without a proper understanding of the mechanisms at work you will get bad performance.

Some products like TopLink will behave extremely weird with improper usage of the cache, and leave you crying. ;) Do not embark on a ORM project without understanding the internals, especially of the cache, but also the product. Add distribution and synchronization to the mix and you got some nice complexity. :)

Two good articles on the internals of Hibernate can be found here:

Of course both are grabbed of the front of hibernate.org. :)

    Have you taken a look at Coherence? Drop me an email if you are interested in the work we’re doing with Hibernate and KODO (and soon for TopLink).

    Peace.

    Never checked it out, but its name pops up whenever I look into caching. I’ll look into it for the next project.
