Level 2 Cache Using EhCache

Lecture 23 discusses the implementation of Level 2 (L2) cache using EHCache at the SessionFactory level, which enhances application-wide caching capabilities. It outlines the necessary dependencies, configuration in hibernate.cfg.xml, and the benefits of L2 cache, such as reduced database hits and improved performance. Additionally, it provides implementation steps and cache strategy options for managing data effectively.

Lecture 23: Level 2 Cache Using EHCache

Theory

Level 2 (L2) cache operates at the SessionFactory level, providing application-wide caching
capabilities that persist across different sessions.

Cache Hierarchy

● L1 Cache: Session-level (automatic)


● L2 Cache: SessionFactory-level (requires configuration)

Dependencies Setup

Required Dependencies in [Link]:


<dependency>
<groupId>[Link]</groupId>
<artifactId>ehcache</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>[Link]</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-jcache</artifactId>
</dependency>

Configuration Implementation

[Link] Configuration:
xml
<hibernate-configuration xmlns="[Link]
<session-factory>
<!-- Database connection properties -->
<property name="[Link].driver_class">[Link]</property>
<property
name="[Link]">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/telusko</property>
<property name="[Link]">postgres</property>
<property name="[Link]">5000</property>

<!-- Hibernate properties -->


<property name="[Link]">update</property>
<property
name="[Link]">[Link]</property>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.format_sql">true</property>

<!-- L2 Cache Configuration -->


<property name="[Link].use_second_level_cache">true</property>
<property
name="[Link].factory_class">[Link]
ctory</property>
<property
name="[Link]">[Link]</pr
operty>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Code Implementation

Modern Session Usage:


// Using modern find() method instead of deprecated get()
Laptop l1 = [Link]([Link], 2);
[Link](l1);

L2 Cache Benefits

Performance Advantages:

● Cross-Session Sharing: Data cached across multiple sessions


● Reduced Database Hits: Frequently accessed data served from cache
● Application-Level Optimization: Improves overall application performance

Cache Levels Comparison:


Feature L1 Cache L2 Cache

Scope Single Session SessionFactory-wide

Lifetime Session duration Application lifetime

Configuration Automatic Manual setup required

Sharing No sharing Shared across sessions

Provider Built-in Hibernate EHCache, Hazelcast, etc.

Implementation Steps:

1. Add Dependencies: Include ehcache and hibernate-jcache


2. Configure Properties: Enable L2 cache in [Link]
3. Entity Annotation: Add @Cache annotation to entities
4. Provider Setup: Configure cache provider (EHCache)
Cache Strategy Options:

● READ_ONLY: For immutable data


● READ_WRITE: For mutable data with read/write operations
● NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE: For rarely updated data
● TRANSACTIONAL: For transactional cache operations
