About this task
You can use simple
data grids to
speed up dynamic Web applications by alleviating database load. You
can store key-value pairs of arbitrary data in-memory, reducing expensive
database queries. The keys can be of any existing Java type, such
as java.lang.String or Integer. The values can be any serializable
object type. Every time data is needed, the simple
data grid on the appliance is checked
first. If the appliance does not have the data, the data is retrieved
from the database and inserted into the simple
data grid. You can create a simple
data grid by writing an application
that uses the ObjectMap API.
