Is there a way to allow Delphi applications to use Hazelcast?

Question

Is there any way for a Delphi application to use the distributed cache from Hazelcast?

Answer 1

It depends - a small Java bridge service, using a simple object serialization (JSON) or a efficient custom serialization, would surely work. It could be implemented as a server with Grizzly, Netty or similar libraries. For a protoype, you could use a simple Java based HTTP server which the Delphi client connects to.

If you are not bound to use Hazelcast, there is a Delphi client library for memcached. See MemCached client with Delphi

Answer 2

Hazelcast support memcache protocol. You can use a Delphi memcache client library to access Hazelcast cluster.
