Ehcache
How is this different from what was possible before ColdFusion 9? In ColdFusion 8 you could use the <cfcache> tag to cache full Web pages on the server or client. Server caching (action = serverCache) stored copies of pages on disk while client caching (clientCache) stored pages in the browsers default cache.
Slide 16

We have always had support for complete full page caching and query caching. While this was fine it wouldnât fit every single case.
The problem is sometime we only want to cache the slow part and not the entire page.
What if you want to cache non text data like a query or a collection like an array or structure

Subject: Export Orders
We really like how easy it is to view orders in our
System but I think it would be nice if users
could export their orders to excel. This would
help them import their orders into other
systems.

From: cfCommerce Project Manager
From: cfCommerce Project Manager
To: Dan Vega
Subject: Tracking objects in the system
We would really like to track any changes made
to all of objects. In the future we may need to
store history of these objects but for right now
I Just want to know when a product was created
and updated.
This could be very easy in our small eCommerce application
- You could just add 2 fields to a database and update your create / update statements
But imagine
