title: Ehcache Vs Static map cache implementation
body: <p>I have few tables with very few entries in them and they will never change dynamically . so i want to cache the whole table in memory to reduce load on DB. I can easily achieve that  by a static Map and populating the map in a static block. </p>
  
  <p>i was wondering whether the same is possible in a more effective way by Ehcache + hibernate?</p>
