JBoss and Sleepycat to Deliver Integrated JBossCache with Berkeley DB Java Edition.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Optimized Solution Combines the Speed of Caching With a Reliable Storage Layer for High-Performance Persistence and Replication JBoss(R), Inc., provider of the most popular Java(TM) application server, and Sleepycat Software, Inc., makers of Berkeley DB, today announced a developer version of JBossCache(TM) integrated with Berkeley DB Java Edition. With JBossCache providing rapid access to elements in memory and Berkeley DB Java Edition as a reliable storage engine, developers now have an optimized solution that delivers high performance, transactional integrity, persistence and recoverability to Java applications. "JBoss is driving improved J2EE application performance with innovative caching techniques such as with JBossCache and the Berkeley DB Java Edition," said Pierre Fricke, vice president, Application and Integration Infrastructure, DH Brown. Berkeley DB Java Edition will be integrated and bundled with JBossCache 1.1, the latest version, which is ideal for developers and OEMs who require replication in addition to transactional persistence without the need for an external database. JBossCache provides a first-level cache and allows persistence of components into Berkeley DB Java Edition as a second-level cache. Loading and storing objects to and from the database is completely transparent, eliminating the need for developers to write their own persistence implementation into the application. Moreover, more elements can be stored in the cache for rapid access. "JBoss has always focused on delivering products that take advantage of the latest technologies. We did this with the initial release of JBossCache, which implements an 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. ) framework to significantly improve replication and speed performance," said Marc Fleury, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Now, with the integration of Sleepycat's robust transactional storage engine, JBoss is taking another significant step to improve the reliability and performance of JBossCache for Java developers." "Berkeley DB Java Edition complements JBossCache perfectly by providing fast, reliable and recoverable persistence in a pre-integrated package," said Mike Olson, president and CEO of Sleepycat Software. "We believe the combination provides compelling value for Java developers building large-scale, mission-critical applications requiring high performance, availability and data integrity." Whether used 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. , another application server or on its own, JBossCache performs basic functionality such as locking, replication and transaction management, all of which can be configured. JBossCache features a tree-structured replicated transactional cache, which can be used for replication of any plain old Java object POJO is an acronym for Plain Old Java Object, and is favoured by advocates of the idea that the simpler the design, the better. The name is used to emphasize that the object in question is an ordinary Java Object, not a special object, and in particular not an Enterprise (POJO). Auto-detection of modifications to POJOs substantially cuts down on network communication, resulting in improved performance and speed.
