re: CacheAdapter–V2 Now with memcached support

Hi Manight,

Yes its still alive even though I only sporadically do changes to it. I still have an outstanding PULL request to integrate.

However, I do plan further development around for things like cache dependencies and Redis support.

To answer your questions though, this abstraction layer currently only offers the lowest level of API that is common across all platforms so specific cache invalidation features are not in place and this one of the things I will be working on. That is, to provide cache invalidation across all platforms using the same API. So while directly asp.net cache and AppFabric do support advanced invalidation features, memcached does not, so the API only supports basic item invalidation at this point.

Also, memcached does not support sliding cache expiry so defaults to explicit date time expiry.

Feel free to lodge issues/tickets on the Bitbucket site where the code is hosted.

Hallo Glav,

is this project still alive and kicking? :)

I was looking right in those days to some abstraction over the base asp.net caching just in case I will switch to a multi server cloud environment (who knows what happens when you launch your SaaS software LOL).

Another question (I haven't read your docs yet so forgive me), does AppFabric (guess yes) and MEMCached (guess not............) have all the invalidation features of the asp.net cache or the .net cache like cache priority (that can even be set to NEVER EXPIRE), fixed times and sliding times?

Thanks in advance

Hi Bond,

Sounds like you are missing the Http listener part. Ensure you have the appropriate reference listed. Try downloading the solution from the link provided and compare differences.

hm, something should be missing from the setup description. when I start the project with the settings given above katana complains it cannot find an entry point.

Hi Bud,

It simply looks like you have an incorrect character as the auth key for the AppFabric cache. If you can send your config through I can have a quick look. You can contact me via @glav on twitter or glav AT aspalliance.com

I love the idea of having CacheAdapter as a way of switching between HttpRuntime.Cache and AppFabric, but when I configure my web.config for AppFabric, I get an error (following). It works great for "Memory", but fails for "AppFabric". I used Nuget.

I've Googled but nobody else seems to be having this problem....

The type initializer for 'Glav.CacheAdapter.Core.DependencyInjection.AppServices' threw an exception. ---> Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheException: ErrorCode:SubStatus:Authorization token passed by user Invalid. ---> System.FormatException: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters.

I never heard both these term before however after reading your fantastically articulated demonstration I now know what exactly OWIN and Katana is.

Will try to make use of these very soon.

Thanks John. Thats exactly why I wrote the article. Glad it helped.
