Terracotta Adds Hibernate 2nd Level Cache

With version 3.1 Terracotta has implemented its own Caching for Hibernate Second Level Caching Provider. Earlier Terracotta’s hibernate integration approach was : clustering EHCACHE. Terracotta with its JVM clustering ability, it was easily possible to cluster any POJO structure. So before 3.1, you might have used EHCACHE as hibernate second level cahce provider and tim-hibernate and tim-ehcache for clustering second level cache. With version 3.1 onwards terracotta will have its own cache backed by map-evictor and concurrent string map. Apart from this new hibernate integration has lots of new additions like cache admin console and transactional read-write cache. Trasactional cache specially makes Terracotta the only clustered read-write transactional cahce for Hibernate.
