Hi,

I am new to Hibernate and was wondering if it is possible to create a write-only cache that is fault-tolerant.
Here is my need :
- my application makes no reads from the database (or everything is already cached)
- all writes to the database should be fault-tolerant, i.e. if the DB connection is not available (DB down) then temporarily store the writes on disk.
- when DB connection is back, flush all the writes that could not happen because the DB was down.

Does such a cache feature already exist?

Thanks for your help.

Try JMS to send updates using persistent messages, hibernate fires events on update it may help to implement messaging .

Thanks for your help.
That's the answer I was fearing. Is there really no other solution that using the JMS heavy artillery?

As I understand caches do not know how to update database and you need some kind of replication not cache. I think JMS is a good way for custom replication, but all database vendors have some solution to replicate data for typical use cases too.
