Using Data Cahe mechanism in Applications

Hi

It is said that Data Caching mechanism increases the performance , as Databates hits will be less and Data will be retreivied from the cache .
So generally there are number of 3rd party cache mechanisms available for this .

But please tell me generally what type of Objects will be generally cached ??Can anybody please give me a scenario.

Depends on your application. For example, maybe this site would cache the list of forums.

Static look up data are usually good candidates for caching. For instance, the list of options used by your web pages or any such static data. Apps typically load and cache them at the beginning or when they are needed for the first time (lazy loading). Complex objects that are expensive to create are also cached (typically lazy loading). Hope that helps.

For instance, the list of options used by your web pages

You mean Kepping hyperlink data as to maintain cache ??

Dear Ravi,

What actual performance problem are you resolving with caching?

Hi

Thank you all for your suppourt .

I have now realised that i dont have any frequently accessed data

, so i decided not to use the Second Level cache (Hibernate in my case )

A nice quote from Donald Knuth, just keep that in mind

"We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil"
