Client-side Caching Configurations

This section is intended to help you configure .NET and Java Clients. It also gives you an overview of the client side caching configuration file (client.ncconf) required for establishing a connection with the cache server and the EFCaching configuration file for enabling EFCaching with NCache.

The client configuration file is used by the NCache client API to get the initial information required to establish a connection with the server. For modules that need to read the configurations, first try to find the client.ncconf file in the application folder. If it doesn't find the client.ncconf in the application folder, it then reads the configuration from the installation folder.

The EFCaching configuration file contains information regarding the Entity Framework provider which helps integrate NCache with Entity Framework applications.
