The JCACHE specification standardizes in process caching of Java objects in a way that allows an efficient implementation, and removes from the programmer the burden of implementing cache expiration, mutual exclusion, spooling, and cache consistency.

What does spooling mean in this context ? Also how does spooling relate to caches ?

I can not relate the concept of spooling as given in Wikipedia to JCache which is a standard for implementing caching .

why not? "simultaneous peripheral operations on-line" could definitely relate to a cache - any long running aynchronous operation on cache data is a spool – radai Jan 07 '13 at 11:33
could you elaborate more on this. want to know. – Shiva Komuravelly Jan 07 '13 at 11:46
In computerese, "spooling" is another term for FIFO queuing. – Hot Licks Jan 07 '13 at 12:13
