Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.0 using the dynacache cache       *
  *                  provider for the JPA second level cache.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The cache size is not honored when      *
  *                      using the default dynacache Java        *
  *                      Persistence API (JPA) cache.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the default dynacache JPA cache is being used the
  dynacache JPA provider overlays configuration from the
  dynacache default cache instead of the default JPA cache.
  

Problem conclusion

• The dynacache JPA provider will now overlay the appropriate
  cache configuration.
