caching Java objects

[Mitch Claborn]

What is the preferred method of caching arbitrary Java objects locally
in a Struts application?  I've been making my actions implement
ApplicationAware and storing objects in that Map.  (I think this comes
from the ServletContext?)  Is that the best way or is there something else?

Hi...

It depends on what the objects mean on your system... exist
ApplicationAware, SessionAware and RequestAware interfaces...

You decide what to use in your design.

For stuff like data dictionary lists, or other random stuff I don't need to reload I will initialize on startup and store in the servletContext.  I will use EhCache for handling cache of model objects when I have a lot of reads and want to improve performance when there are lots of "things".  

I think it depends on the scope of your need, but my guess is that you are thinking about application-wide scope, so you are on the right track.  


Disclaimer: I have an irrational fear and allergic reaction to the HTTP Session map, so I will do probably crazy things to avoid it.
