Hi,
We had the JCache + Java EE BOF at JavaOne, with Hazelcast, Payara and Tomitribe there, where we discussed what is missing in JCache to align it with Java EE. The discussion suggested that there are three groups of issues:
- necessary improvements to align with Java EE (we need them to bring JCache into Java EE)
- optional improvements (CDI cache scope, asynchronous API, injection of Cache and CacheManager) - seems that Payara and Tomitribe already put some effort on their own, and would welcome a standard approach
- integration with other specs (JPA 2nd level cache, caching JPA queries, facelet cache in JSF, JTA to span transaction over both cache and database, ...) - JCache should provide means to do it, but first JCache needs to be officially included in Java EE scope
At least one of the 3 current spec leads, Greg Luck, is very interested in this effort, we should be hearing from him soon.
Meantime, I wanted to raise a discussion about JCache 1.1, which I suggest would target inclusion in Java EE.
Do we need to form a new EG or can we continue with the same EG as in JSR107?
There are already new subjects interested in joining the EG (
