I have been looking into .NET recently. Yes.. I am finally looking. Was trying to look into .NET for the last couple of years… but was always trying. Finally, when a person gets stuck in Pakistan with no movies, no bridge, no friends for coffeeshop chats, he has time to do some serious investigation into software technologies…
I think this point is pretty obvious.. I mean.. just look at the number of articles I have written recently. Scary really. Anyway, this will be a constantly updated article. Why constantly updated?
Well, for the simple reason that I am not exactly looking at mastering .NET within a day or two.. and this is intended to be some sort of a journal for me to note down the difference between the 2 frameworks. I am pretty familiar with Java J2EE… so I should be able to point out the difference along the way….
Stay tuned. 
Availability of Cache in .NET
In Java, the basic framework comes with:
- Page
- Request
- Session
- Application
In .NET, it comes with a default implementation of a caching system. Some data are just meant to be cached to prevent overloading of the database with unnecessary hits. In Java, caches are generally implemented through a separate component like EhCache (something employed by hibernate). However, in .NET, they make it a lot more convenient by including it as part of the default framework.
Cache.Add(“mycache”, myobj, null, DateTime.MaxValue, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10), CacheItemPriority.Normal, null);
