POJO Cache is an in-memory, transactional, and clustered cache system that allows users to operate on a POJO (Plain Old Java Object) transparently and without active user management of either replication or persistence aspects. JBoss Cache, which includes POJO Cache, is a 100% Java based library that can be run either as a standalone program or inside an application server.

This document is meant to be a user and reference guide to explain the architecture, api, configuration, and examples for POJO Cache. We assume the readers are familiar with both JGroups and the core JBoss Cache usages.

If you have questions, use the user forum linked on the JBoss Cache website. We also provide tracking links for tracking bug reports and feature requests on JBoss Jira web site . If you are interested in the development of POJO Cache, post a message on the forum. If you are interested in translating this documentation into your language, contact us on the developer mailing list.

JBoss Cache is an open source product, using the business and OEM-friendly OSI-approved LGPL license. Commercial development support, production support and training for JBoss Cache is available through JBoss, a division of Red Hat Inc.

In some of the example listings, what is meant to be displayed on one line does not fit inside the available page width. These lines have been broken up. A '\' at the end of a line means that a break has been introduced to fit in the page, with the following lines indented. So:

            Let's pretend to have an extremely \
            long line that \
            does not fit
            This one is short
         

Is really:
