consequences of various architectural options. It talks about how to configure
the Liferay portal to work in a clustered environment. It discusses the various
options available in a cluster configuration. The book further talks about
various configuration options of different components that are available for
improving performance. The book also talks about various development best
practices. It concludes with best practices related to load testing and a

CACHING USING TERRACOTTA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Chapter 1, Architectural Best Practices, we talked about various caching
options for our Liferay-based solution. We discussed using Terracotta as a
centralized cache server. If the portal is designed to handle huge amounts of
traffic and transactions, it will need a good amount of cache to provide the
best performance. In such situations, it is recommended to go with a high-end,
centralized cache server. Terracotta is one of the most popular products in this
space. We can configure Liferay Portal to cache resources in Terracotta instead
of in embedded Ehcache. Let's learn how to configure Liferay Portal to cache
resources in a Terracotta server. We will configure Terracotta-based caching for
our clustered setup using the following steps:

 1. Download and install Terracotta in a directory on a separate server. This
    directory is referred to as TERRACOTTA_HOME.
