SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DISTRIBUTED CACHING IN A TRANSACTIONAL PROCESSING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing distributed caching in a transactional processing environment. The caching system can include a plurality of layers that provide a caching feature for a plurality of data types, and can be configured for use with a plurality of caching providers. A common data structure can be provided to store serialized bytes of each data type, and architecture information of a source platform executing a cache-setting application, so that a cache-getting application can use the information to convert the serialized bytes to a local format. A proxy server can be provided to act as a client to a distributed in-memory grid, and advertise services to a caching client, where each advertised service can match a cache in the distributed in-memory data grid, such as Coherence. The caching system can be used to cache results from a service.

1. A system for providing distributed caching in a transactional processing environment.
a computer that includes one or more microprocessors; a transactional processing environment, executing on the computer, which includes a plurality of layers that provide a caching functionality, including
a buffer-based distributed caching (BDC) layer for receiving caching requests,an implementation layer that includes a plurality of implementations of caching operations, each implementation by a different caching provider, anda common distributed caching (CDC) layer that define common caching-related interfaces; and wherein when receiving a caching request transferred from the BDC layer, the CDC layer loads the implementation of caching operations by the particular caching provider, to perform caching operations on data associated with the caching request.
