Abstract

In a system having a plurality of caches, a method for maintaining cached objects includes storing an object in a plurality of caches. In response to a request to update the object, a future invalidation time is determined when the object should be invalidated in caches currently storing the object. Updating of the object is delayed until the invalidation time has passed.
