What is TreeCacheAop/PojoCache?
PojoCache (currently implemented TreeCacheAop as a sub-class of TreeCache) is a fine-grained field-level replicated and transactional POJO (plain old Java object) cache. By POJO, we mean that the cache: 1) automatically manages object mapping and relationship for a client under both local and replicated cache mode, 2) provides support for inheritance relationship between “aspectized” POJOs. By leveraging the dynamic AOP in JBossAop, it is able to map a complex object into the cache store, preserve and manage the object relationship behind the scene. During replication mode, it performs fine-granularity (i.e., on a per-field basis) update, and thus has the potential to boost cache performance and minimize network traffic. From a user perspective, once your POJO is managed by the cache, all cache operations are transparent. Therefore, all the usual in-VM POJO method semantics are still preserved, providing ease of use. For example, if a POJO has been put in PojoCache (by calling putObjec
