OSCache 2.2 Released

Version 2.2 of the popular open-source J2EE cache OSCache was released on 6th November 2005. Besides bugs being fixed, major improvements have been made to the CacheFilter in many ways:

  • Default initialization of the last modified header which reduces transaction overhead and server load
  • Preserving more http headers, e.g. the expires header
  • Special handling for fragments of a page
  • Custom cache key generation by subclassing CacheFilter or by implementing a special interface
  • Custom cache groups generation by subclassing CacheFilter or by implementing a special interface
  • Support of GZip filters in the filter chain
  • Avoids session creation for application scope pages
  • Multiple matching cache filters won't dead-lock the response anymore
  • The cache won't be serve the same response twice before the client begins to cache it anymore

Furthermore

  • Continuous Integration and Dependency Management with Ivy
  • Update to JGroups 2.2.8

This release can be downloaded now.
