JBoss Group Introduces JBossCache to Optimize Clustering Performance in JBoss Application Server.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2003 JBossCache Features First-Ever Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP (Automatic OPerator) An IRC channel host who moderates the topics, keeps online users in check and provides help for newbies unfamiliar with IRC software (mIRC, etc.). Whenever AOPs come into the channel, they inherit operator status. ) Functionality to Deliver Enhanced Performance Without Compromising Reliability JBoss(R) Group LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , provider of the most popular Java application server, today announced JBossCache(TM), a new generation of cache technology that unifies all caching on the JBoss application server For the JBoss company itself, see . JBoss Application Server (or JBoss AS) is a free software / open source Java EE-based application server. Because it is Java-based, JBoss AS is cross-platform, usable on any operating system that Java supports. into a single implementation. JBossCache is the backbone for clustering on JBoss and implements an aspect-oriented programming (AOP) framework that significantly improves replication and speeds performance without compromising on fault-tolerance or reliability. JBossCache features a tree-structured replicated transactional cache, which can be used for replication of serializable keys and values, and an AOP-enabled subclass In programming, to add custom processing to an existing function or subroutine by hooking into the routine at a predefined point and adding additional lines of code. subclass - derived class , which allows for replication of any plain old Java objects (POJOs). These combine to enable a host of new services, previously unavailable, which will be integrated with JBoss. "Cache technology has always had to trade off between high reliability or high performance," said Bela Ban, developer at JBoss Group and lead developer of JGroups, a JBoss Group-sponsored open source project. "With its flexible configuration, plus the AOP functionality, JBossCache can be used both as a high-performance or a high-reliability cache, all provided by the same code." JBossCache can be either local or replicated. JBossCache performs basic functionality such as locking, replication and transaction management, all of which can be configured. The AOP subclass takes JBossCache functionality to the next level and enables Java objects with AOP capability. That is, it allows objects to be inserted and replicated transactionally between nodes in a cluster. The AOP-enabled cache automatically analyzes an object when it is inserted in the cache and knows exactly when any field has been changed. Auto-detection of modifications substantially cuts down on network communication, resulting in improved performance and speed. Services to Drive Reliability and Performance of Cache JBossCache will feature the following services: -- JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) A programming interface (API) from Sun for connecting Java programs to naming and directory services such as DNS, LDAP and NDS. (Java Naming and Directory Service), a fail-safe lookup service that will be distributed. -- HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. Session Replication, which is critical for integrating the Tomcat Web container, making transactions available on all nodes, so a server crash is invisible at the application level. -- Stateful Session Bean (SFSB SFSB Stateful Session Bean (Java) SFSB Strojarski Fakultet Slavonski Brod SFSB set front side bus ) Replication, which allows objects to be replicated to all servers. -- Entity Bean Replication, which is important for clustering. This allows caching of entity beans without going to database or having to serialize To convert a parallel signal made up of one or more bytes into a serial signal that transmits one bit after the other. serialize - serialise those objects. The ability to cache in memory, locally results in huge performance gains, in some cases speed increases by a factor of 20. For more information about JBossCache, please visit http://www.jboss.org.
