Hi,

I am a newbie to JBoss and currently weighing the option of using JBoss cache on WebSphere Application Server (WAS).

My requirement:

I want to have a shared cache which is cluster aware and can act as a platform component which can be easily extended by different components to have their own cache.

WAS provides an option to implement a shared cache, but I came to know that JBoss cache is more robust than the one provided by WAS, and I did not want to get tied with WAS. Hence, I was trying to do sort of evaluation for the different options available.

I wanted to know:

1. Whether JBoss cache can be used over WAS 6.x?

2. If yes, then is there some guideline/example available regarding this?

Could someone please help me out on this?

Thanks.
