Does Hazelcast follow JSR-107

Question

Read about JSR-107 and JCache recently. Would like to know whether Hazelcast or Ehcache follow this JSR?

Answer 1

JSR107 (JCache) made good progress and we already notified the spec committee that Hazelcast will implement the JCache spec. Having JCache part of Java EE 8 will be significant achievement so Hazelcast is now committed to JCache.

As far as Hazelcast goes, here is a response from Talip Ozturk:

> 1. Does hazelcast have any plans to support JSR107? If so, any release date?
It shouldn't be hard to support JSR107 but it is a 10 years old JSR that is never been finalized. We don't want to spend time on it until we see an official release of the spec.

Found on this page.

As far as Ehcache goes, here is a possible implementation that may work: https://github.com/jsr107/ehcache-jcache

Answer 3

Hazelcast 3.3.1 passed the JSR107 final TCK and was accepted by the JCP as compatible. Makes sense since the JCache spec co-author is the CEO of Hazelcast

Answer 4

If you need an implementation of JCache, the only one that I'm aware of being available today is Oracle Coherence; see: http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/coherence/develop-applications/jcache_part.htm

For the sake of full disclosure, I work at Oracle. The opinions and views expressed in this post are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of my employer.

Answer 5

Hazelcast is now fully complied with Jsr107 or Jcache. This is announced in the official Blog

On the opening day of JavaOne and Oracle Open World, Hazelcast, the leading In-Memory Data Grid provider is announcing the release of Hazelcast 3.3.1 JCache, the JCache compatible version of Hazelcast.

And acording to this

Hazelcast JCache implementation is 100% TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) compliant and therefore passes all specification requirements. The samples in hazel cast makes it somewhat easy to learn jcache as there is really poor JavaDocs and other resources
