Good Practice

[rlhr]

Hello,

I'm using JBoss 4.0.5GA, jboss-cache-1.4.1GA, Seam-1.1.0GA.
I'm plaining to deploy the application on multiple clustered server, so
I need to use caching for 3 main reasons:

1 - application clustering and session replication
2 - Storing readonly data (ie list of cities,..) that can be clustered as well
3 - Hibernate second level of cache

What I'm debating right now is if it is usually a better practice to have 3 instance of cache with their own configuration files, or just having one cache instance is enough (eventually with different eviction policy for each defined region)?

If anyone has experienced a similar situation or knows what is most likely and best practice, I'll be glad to hear you.

Regards,

Richard

I'd recommend separate cache instances, so you have the flexibility to tune each cache differently based on what it needs to do.
