From Zero-to-Hero with EHCache

Ehcache is the most popular open source cache framework for the JVM. It is integrated into many open-source packages, such as Grails. First, we'll cover the concept of caching objects and use cases around caching. In this session, we'll get into Ehcache details about architecture, configuration, design, cache types and more. Attendees will learn how to configure Ehcache and we'll discuss the major configuration options. We'll also do some live code demos so attendees can better understand the concepts and features of caching and Ehcache. Of course, we'll also see how it plugs into ORM / JPA tools like Hibernate.

Topics: * Understanding Caching * When to use caching * Setting up EHCache * Setting up Ehcache with Terracotta plumbing * Setting up Ehcache with other plumbing * Code demos * Tips for optimizing the cache size and usage * Integration of the cache with Hibernate * Hibernate example code
