Here in this port you can find the list of Cache providers and their Concurrency support details. (Exerted from Official Hibernate Tutorial)
EHCache (Easy Hibernate Cache)
(org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider)
- It is fast.
- lightweight.
- Easy-to-use.
- Supports read-only and read/write caching.
- Supports memory-based and disk-based caching.
- Does not support clustering.
OSCache (Open Symphony Cache)
(org.hibernate.cache.OSCacheProvider)
- It is a powerful .
- flexible package
- supports read-only and read/write caching.
- Supports memory- based and disk-based caching.
- Provides basic support for clustering via either JavaGroups or JMS.
SwarmCache (org.hibernate.cache.SwarmCacheProvider)
- is a cluster-based caching.
- supports read-only or nonstrict read/write caching .
- appropriate for applications those have more read operations than write operations.
JBoss TreeCache (org.hibernate.cache.TreeCacheProvider)
- is a powerful replicated and transactional cache.
- useful when we need a true transaction-capable caching architecture .
