Sessions and the Cache

OracleAS TopLink automatically caches any data that is returned when a client reads an object. The cache resides with the session, which enables any associated client sessions to share the cache. This cache plays an important role in the performance of your application.

To define how the cache manages objects, specify a strategy for cache management in OracleAS TopLink Mapping Workbench.

For more information, see "Working with Identity Maps" in the Oracle Application Server TopLink Mapping Workbench User's Guide.
