shonkylogic [https://community.jboss.org/people/shonkylogic] modified the document: "JBossCache" To view the document, visit: https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-10242 -------------------------------------------------------------- h2. What is JBoss Cache h5. JBoss Cache consists of two +editions+ * *core* - a replicated, distributed, transactional tree-structured cache * *pojo* (formerly JBossCacheAop) - a layer on top of the core cache, providing you with an API-less feature set and giving you a more 'pojo' feel to your application with minimal intrusion. h5. Upcoming editions * *searchable* - this edition bolts on a search indexer to the cache, allowing you to query the cache using efficient Lucene queries.  See the https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-10286 JBoss Cache Searchable wiki page for more info. h2. Versions The current stable release, recommended for general use, is *JBoss Cache 3.2.2.GA +"Malagueta"+*.  Note that this is *not* binary-compatible with *JBoss Cache 1.x* and if you need that level of binary compatibility the recommended version is *JBoss Cache 1.4.1 +"Cayenne"+*.  Naga *+is+* compatible with *JBoss Cache 2.x* though. h2. Learning about JBoss Cache A https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12843 tutorial and FAQ for both core and pojo editions are provided, along with the https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12843 formal user guide- which should be considered *+required+* reading, +*before*+ asking questions on the users' forum!  :) JBoss Cache can be used either inside JBoss, with a different application server, or as a standalone product. Here is https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12843 official JBossCache main documentation page. This wiki page will serve for some additional materials. +Want to help us translate JBoss Cache documentation to a language of your choice?  See the https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-10261 JBossCacheDocI18n page!+ h2.
