6.5.1 Creating multiple caches

It is possible to have multiple shared class caches on the same partition. To prevent a JVM from attaching to a cache, we recommend always specifying a name, rather than letting the default name be used. This way, when a JVM starts up, it will create its own cache rather than attaching itself to an undesired cache. Access can be further controlled and administered via group usage or through Java Security.

IBM SDK User Guide contains information about creating, populating, monitoring and using shared classes, and is available at the following address:
