Class CacheFactory

java.lang.Object

com.tangosol.util.Base

com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory

public abstract class CacheFactory
extends Base

Factory for the Coherence™ cache product.

One of the most common functions provided by the CacheFactory is ability to obtain an instance of a cache. To get a cache reference use the getCache(String, ClassLoader) or getCache(String) methods.

When a cache retrieved by any of the above methods is no longer used, it is recommended to call releaseCache(NamedCache) to release the associated resources. To destroy all instances of the cache across the cluster, use destroyCache(NamedCache).

Applications that require more control when obtaining cache and service references should use the CacheFactoryBuilder API.

Returns:

Since:

Coherence 1.2

commitTransactionCollection

public static boolean commitTransactionCollection(Collection collCaches,
 int cRetry)

Commit the transaction represented by a collection of TransactionMap objects. Due to any of a number of reasons, the transaction could fail to commit; if it fails to commit, the transaction is rolled back.

Parameters:

collCaches - a collection of TransactionMap objects

cRetry - the number of times [0..100] to retry a stage of the transaction if a concurrency conflict occurs

Returns:

true if the transaction could be committed; false otherwise

rollbackTransactionCollection

public static void rollbackTransactionCollection(Collection collCaches)

Roll back the transaction represented by a collection of TransactionMap objects.

collCaches - a collection of TransactionMap objects

getCluster

public static Cluster getCluster()

Return a Cluster object for Coherence services.

Returns:

a Cluster object which may or may not be running

Since:

Coherence 1.1

ensureCluster

public static Cluster ensureCluster()

Obtain a Cluster object running Coherence services. Calling this method is optional. The cluster member carrying caching services will be lazily initialized when a first cache is about to be created. However, that operation could take significant time (especially for a first cluster member). This method forces initialization, making all cache creating requests predictably faster.

Returns:

a Cluster object

Since:

Coherence 1.1

shutdown

public static void shutdown()

Shutdown all clustered services.

Since:

Coherence 1.0

releaseCache

public static void releaseCache(NamedCache cache)

Release local resources associated with the specified instance of the cache. This invalidates a reference obtained by any of getCache() methods.

Releasing a NamedCache reference makes it no longer usable, but does not affect the content of the cache. In other words, all other references to the cache will still be valid, and the cache data is not affected by releasing the reference.

The reference that is released using this method can no longer be used; any attempt to use the reference will result in an exception.

The purpose for releasing a cache reference is to allow the cache implementation to release the ClassLoader used to deserialize items in the cache. The cache implementation ensures that all references to that ClassLoader are released. This implies that objects in the cache that were loaded by that ClassLoader will be re-serialized to release their hold on that ClassLoader. The result is that the ClassLoader can be garbage-collected by Java in situations where the cache is operating in an application server and applications are dynamically loaded and unloaded.

Parameters:

cache - the NamedCache object to be released

Since:

Coherence 1.1

See Also:

• CacheService.releaseCache(NamedCache)
• destroyCache(NamedCache)

destroyCache

public static void destroyCache(NamedCache cache)

Releases and destroys the specified NamedCache.

Warning: This method is used to completely destroy the specified cache across the cluster. All references in the entire cluster to this cache will be invalidated, the cached data will be cleared, and all resources will be released.

Parameters:

cache - the NamedCache object to be destroyed

Since:

Coherence 1.1

See Also:

• CacheService.destroyCache(NamedCache)
• releaseCache(NamedCache)

getEdition

public static String getEdition()

Returns the edition currently loaded based on the operational configuration.

Returns:

the abbreviated string representation of the current edition. Potential values include (GE,EE,SE,RTC,DC)

Since:

Coherence 12.1.2
