Re: [hibernate-dev] Deprecating or removing entirely HashtableCacheProvider?

The only use case I am really interested in for "simple map based" caching is the test suite. Its the whole reason I did not do the things Strong and I discussed on the other thread already. Perhaps we move "simple map based" caching impl to the hibernate-testing module? The the test suite can continue to use it but we have explicitly published the intent. And yes I totally agree that we should be driving folks to proper cache integrations, namely the infinispan and/or ehcache integrations. The others (oscache, swarmcache, etc) have been removed already. On 06/08/2011 07:26 AM, Sanne Grinovero wrote: > I always try to understand what's the main reason motivating people to > use it.

Worse case, we could provide an implementation that is backed by ConcurrentHashMap but even with that, we would get no eviction policy etc. >> _______________________________________________ >> hibernate-dev mailing list >> hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev >> > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-dev mailing list > hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev -- Steve Ebersole <steve(a)hibernate.org&gt; http://hibernate.org
