Event Description

The Jacksonville Java Users Group (JaxJUG) will hold a special meeting on June 3rd with Terracotta's Greg Luck, the founder of Ehcache.

The meeting will be sponsored by Availity LLC.
Pizza and soft drinks will be served.

Title:
The new Ehcache 2.0.0 and Hibernate Caching SPI provider - Boost Hibernate Performance by 10x

Abstract:
Ehcache is an open source, standards-based cache used in a wide array of applications to boost performance, offload the database and simplify scalability. Ehcache is robust, proven and full-features and this has made it the most widely used Java-based cache.
Greg will walk through the Spring Pet Clinic as an application example and show us how to tune it for maximum performance, both when using Hibernate and when caching result sets directly.
He will show us benchmarking tests the comparative application performance of Ehcache EX 1.8 versus MySQL, Memcached and a leading In-Memory Data Grid, including the impressive performance increases from the latest Terracotta 3.2 Server Array.
Finally Greg will also discuss some upcoming features in Ehcache 2.0 such as JTA, bulk loading, the new Hibernate 3.3 provider and write-behind.

Greg's Bio:
Greg founded Ehcache in 2003. He regularly speaks at conferences, writes and codes. He has also founded and maintains the JPam and Spnego open source projects, which are security focused.
Prior to joining Terracotta in 2009, Greg was Chief Architect at Wotif.com where he provided technical leadership as the company went from a single product startup to a billion dollar public company with multiple product lines.
Before that Greg was a consultant for ThoughtWorks with engagements in the US and Australia in the travel, health care, geospatial, banking and insurance industries.
Before doing programming, Greg managed IT. He was CIO at Virgin Blue, Tempo Services, Stamford Hotels and Resorts and Australian Resorts.
He is a Chartered Accountant, and spent 7 years with KPMG in small business and insolvency.
Greg holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Masters in Information Technology.
