Java Caching Implementations

I had to do some database improvements by caching user permissions. Java caching is covered by JSR 107. I started looking at java opensource caching implementations. I found couple of products.

These are the first impressions I got while evaluating different implementations.

• Apache JCS - Still requires EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent
• Ehcache - I managed to get it running on the first poc

So I settled down for Ehcache and right now I am very happy with it.
