Caching

EclipseLink offers a highly performant, robust and functional object cache. Caching is provided at both the persistence context level (L1), and a shared cache at the persistence unit level (L2). Caching is discussed in the following topics:

• Caching Overview
• Configuring Caching
• Shared, Isolated, Protected, Weak, and Read-only Cache
• Cache Type and Size
• Cache Expiration and Invalidation
• Clustering and Cache Coordination
• Database Event Notification and Oracle DCN/QCN
• Cache Indexes
• Query Results Cache
• Query Cache Options and In-memory Querying
• Cache API
• Cache Interceptors and External Caches
