= Ehcache for JRuby
http://github.com/dylanz/ehcache
== DESCRIPTION:
Ehcache is a simplified JRuby interface to Java's (JSR(107) compliant) Ehcache.
Simplified meaning that it should work out-of-the-box, but a lot of native
methods haven't been interfaced yet, as they weren't needed. Configuration
occurs in config/ehcache.yml, and should support all the configuration
options available.

== BASIC USAGE:
manager = CacheManager.new
cache = manager.cache
cache.put("key", "value", {:ttl => 120})
cache.get("key")
manager.shutdown
== RAILS:
An EhcacheStore is available for use within Rails, so all the native
Rails caching methods are supported. Make sure your config/environments/*,
are setup to support caching, eg: config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
1) From your RAILS_ROOT, run this command:
- ehcache rails ## just copies ehcache_store.rb into lib/ at the moment
2) In your environment.rb, specify:
- config.cache_store = :ehcache_store
3) Start server in production mode. Important.
4) Cache stuff
== REQUIREMENTS:
Tested with JRuby 1.1.2.
== INSTALL:
sudo gem install ehcache
