Well, if the data is read only, then you can just cache the data in a Hashtable and make it accessible through out the application.
If your data is volatile, then you may consider writing a simple time based caching service - http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2001/jw-0720-cache_p.html Hibernate provides two levels of caching. By default, Hibernates uses first level caching. Hibernate also provides plugin for other cache provider like JBoss. This is the second level caching. In first level caching, Hibernate will check if data in a persistence class has changed when saving a persistence class. If the related data is being modified, Hibernate will update the modified data. Of course, this is just one simple example. For more information, please visit Hibernate reference document - http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/en/html/ HTH Lee On Mon, 29 Nov 2004 07:36:43 -0800 (PST), Ashish Kulkarni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > The data which i want to cache has about 10000 rows > and i want to cache it in may be servlet context, what > is the best way to cache it, do i just create a java > bean and cache it or some kind of mechanism already > exist like Hibernation (i am not sure what is does) > > Ashish > > > --- "Frank W.
