Article:		JBoss Cache as a POJO Cache

I have a scenario in which huge data (in a database) needs to be updated from a xml. Before the data is updated, a lookup needs to be done against the d/b to decide which fields are to be updated / inserted. To do the lookup, I need to fire a query for each xml I get. This is very costly. Is it possible that the data from the d/b is pulled in a cache, and lookup happens against the cache? (i think this will save the trip to the database for lookup) Once the data is updated / inserted, the lookup cache needs to be refreshed to have the last updates. This needs to be done for each xml. Will jBoss-cache help with this? if yes, how?

  I'd say if the data size is huge, then it probably is not the best way to cache all the data. Probelm is memory and also query can take a while as well.
