Jboss cache is a product designed to cache frequently accessed java objects in order to dramatically improve the performance of e-business applications. by eliminating unnecessary database access, jboss cache decreases network traffic and increases the scalability of applications.

but jboss cache is much more than a simple cache. jboss cache provides fully transactional features as well as a highly configurable set of options to deal with concurrent data access in the most efficient manner possible for your application. in addition, it is a clustered cache that replicates contents to other cache instances running on separate jvms, servers or even entire networks, making jboss cache a highly efficient library used by application server developers to implement clustering features.

jboss cache provides two caching apis to suit your needs. the jboss cache api offers a traditional, tree-structured, node-based cache and the pojo cache api, which builds on the jboss cache api, provides the ability to perform object-based, fine-grained replication of java objects, resulting in maximum performance benefits.
