JBossCache-Server

Interested in what Infinispan is doing in this regard?  Take a look at Client and server modules

This is the design of the server module for JBoss Cache, that bolts on to either a replicated or standalone cache and exposes certain functionality over a TCP socket.

The plan is to provide a number of protocols, the first one, , being a basic JBoss Cache 2.x cache loader compatible one to replace the .  Other protocols would involve a Memcached-compatible RESTful protocol and a binary equivalent.

TreeCacheProtocol

The TreeCacheProtocol would provide the following functionality:

• GetChildrenNames

• GetKey

• Get

• Exists

• PutKeyVal

• PutMap

• RemoveKey

• Remove

• Clear

• PutList

MemcachedProtocol

The memcached protocol is detailed elsewhere.

CacheServerProtocol

This will eventually become the default, and is a binary protocol providing simple map-interface equivalent commands such as:

• Get

• Put

• Remove

• Contains

• Clear

• Replace

• PutIfAbsent

• Size
