12.2.5. Second-Level Caches

A second-level cache is a local data store that holds information persisted outside the application session. The cache is managed by the persistence provider, improving run-time by keeping the data separate from the application.

JBoss EAP 6 supports caching for the following purposes:

Each cache container defines a "repl" and a "dist" cache. These caches should not be used directly by user applications.
