The Propagate Cache Updates Pattern

This pattern is part of a largely undeveloped section of the pattern language on application architectures that use messaging. These patterns are more finely-grained, and less generally applicable than the other patterns in this language, documented in [Woolf] and [Hohpe]. Other patterns in this section that have not yet been published include Logging to a Queue, where a logging infrastructure is built using Enterprise Messaging and Local and Remote Update, where we discuss how to keep information held both in a local (distributed) database and a remote (mainframe) database in synchronization using Enterprise Messaging.
