architecture and distributed caching thoughts in combination with indeXus.Net SharedCache - Part 7

SharedCache thought no. 7: scope's and expectations

lets start to talk about expectations, do not assume and verify that it works exactly as expected. Take advantage of perfmon and the notify application to monitor the cache, what it contains and how it works.

Keep things in the right scope, which means do not use Cache functionality for session information. HTTP Session objects can be used for caching user- and / or session specific information but don't use them as a cache for global information - and the opposite.
