Deploy a Read-Through / Write-Behind Provider (AppFabric 1.1 Caching)

  • Article

After creating a Windows Server AppFabric Caching read-through / write-behind provider, you have to register it on each cache host. This topic explains this process.

Provider Deployment Process

  1. First verify that you have built a provider that implements the DataCacheStoreProvider class and also is signed with a strong name. For more information on how to create the provider, see Extend the DataCacheStoreProvider Class.

  2. Copy this provider to each cache host in the cache cluster.

  3. Also copy the application assemblies that implement the types that are stored in the cache cluster. This is necessary for the provider to be able to work with these types directly. The only time that this would not be necessary is if the provider passed all calls to an external server which then processed the requests. In that case, the external server would require the application-specific assemblies.

  4. On each cache host, add the provider and all application-specific assemblies to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). There are several different ways to accomplish this. For more information, see How to: Install an Assembly into the Global Assembly Cache.
