Earlier today (well, yesterday down under) ehCAChe maintainer and GlassFish good friend Greg Luck announced the "acquisition" of Ehcache by TerraCotta, another friendly GlassFish partner. This is giving Ehcache a business strategy, which it never had despite its popularity, in distributed caching. You can read more on TerraCotta's blog entries by Ari (founder, CTO) and Alex (aka Pure Danger). InfoQ also has a nice summary of the technical implications.

Congratulations to both parties, they seem to share a lot of common values. If you're interested in the integration between GlassFish and those two sets of technologies, please visit :
• Ehcache - GlassFish HowTo & FAQ
• Previous coverage of Ehcache on TheAquarium, including the GlassFishTV episode (slides), and Ehcache server using GlassFish embedded, jersey and metro.
• Configuring GlassFish to Work with Terracotta and platform support.

Finally, make sure you read how to pronounce Ehcache properly and realize ehCAChe is actually a palindrome.

这周研讨会是有关 Ehcache 的，广泛应用的基于 java 的高速缓存 – 最新的正式调查显示，在 GlassFish 用户中处于第一位。Greg Luck 主讲，他是主要的维护人员和 Wotif.com 的架构师，演讲内容包括高速缓存原理、Ehcache 的架构、产品特性、使用方式以及一些代码示例。 时间是在 5 月 7 日，星期二，11am US Pacific，地址还是 TheAquarium Channel。完整的详细信息（和录制品）在 Show Page。

Greg Luck, EHCache maintainer and GlassFish community member has been busy in the recent weeks. First, he released EHCache 1.5.0 and soon after came EHCache debugger, but also EHCache Server with a SOAP interface built using Metro (as the WSDL shows).

Greg discusses the rationale behind the SOAP choice on his blog and explains that the server is available as a war archive that can be either deployed in a Java Application Server or simply started using its embedded GlassFish v3 engine. In addition to the SOAP interface, Greg is also working on a RESTful implementation of the EHCache server, this time with Jersey (JAX-RS's reference implementation in the works) under the hood.

EHCache is a popular distributed cache used by many frameworks and applications. Previous EHCache entries on this blog are here.

If you are using or planning to use GlassFish v3 (with or without the embedded mode), feel free to comment here or send us email, we'll happily mention it here.

ehCache 是 SourceForge  本月项目 在 2月2008. ehCache 是分布式缓冲系统从Greg Luck并被用在Wotif.COM (参见 GF Day@Sydney) 与GlassFish集成。 Greg 已经发布了一个ehCache 指南和参考 在 Lulu.com上 - 我注意到他提及到Tomcat但是没有GF并且他解释: 在Tomcat上有一个FAQ ,因为有这么多问题发生，我意识到和Glassfish啥也没有.

我已经谈过几次关于把ehCache应用到UC@TA; 或许我将得到它在JavaOne之前. 也请看 ehCache@TA

InfoQ 有一篇 好文章 在 Shoal集群架构 (参阅TA条目). 文章基于和Shreedhar，Mohamed的一个面谈，其涵盖了大量的材料包括与Terracotta, JGroups, JBossCache, ehCache和SailFin的比较。 Shoal正在获取更好的进步；我已经想念起那些用JoNAS的. 也可以看一个短笔记在 OpenLandscape上。
