Jeff, Thanks for the clarification. I think the issue is the Developer's Guide (at least the version that I downloaded) itself that caused the confusion. When discussing cache types on page 26, it only talks about Memory, LRU and FIFO. There is a reference to OSCache URL, but no mention of the OSCacheController class. Perhaps, that section was inadvertently ommitted? But your explanation makes perfect sense.
Thanks, - Adnan Rafiq -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Butler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 3:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: iBATIS and SwarmCache Yes, the developers guide. iBATIS ships with four different cache controllers - MEMORY, LRU, FIFO, OSCACHE. If you want to do SwarmCache, you'll have to write your own class that implements CacheController (and maybe contribute it back to the community???). Here are the basics: Write some class that implements CacheController and interacts with SwarmCache, then specify that class instead of OSCACHE in your configuration files. You can look at the source for OSCacheController as an example. OSCACHE is just an alias for com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.cache.oscache.OSCacheController. You can plug any class you want into the cacheModel "type" attribute - as long as it implements CacheController.

From what I gather, the cache model uses a pluggable framework for supporting different "types" of caches (e.g. LRU, Memory, FIFO, etc.), but it does not talk about integrating with other caching products besides OSCache.
