Hi Jay,
The TDS does use ehcache in a number of ways. I believe mainly for
tracking collections of real-time updated files on disk. John can go
into the details if you're interested.
The TDS does not use the ncWMS data array caching code that Guan
mentions below. Most of the current TDS caching is at the dataset level
rather than at the level of the actual data.
