Out of curiosity, how did you implement the in-memory cache? One big (1 gig!) hashmap :-) or something more exotic?

We have found that the biggest bang for the buck comes with pre-fetching data out of the database and building our business objects ahead of time and storing them in an in-memory cache. This means that we have a very large cache (we estimate at least a gig when we get fully ramped up for phase one and more after that), but we get phenominal throughput from it. Our reason for this was a maximum processing time of 3.6 seconds and we knew that we could not allow the database access to be the choke point in the system. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
