Easily modify a few configuration files to enable distributed caching using Terracotta and Ehcache for use with ColdFusion’s own caching mechanisms.
If you remember back to my previous post, Intro to Ehcache Server and RESTful Web Services, I went into detail regarding how to set up an out-of-process caching server. If you’re lucky enough to be using ColdFusion 9 and have upgraded to the latest 9.0.1 patch, you may have noticed that one of the updates was to update Ehcache 1.6 to version 2.0. This update enables you to tie your ColdFusion instance in with a Terracotta distributed caching server.
