public Cache()

Method Detail

open

public static void open()
                 throws CacheException

reads the configuration files and establishs the Java caching system in the process. During the initialization, a hash table is created for storing cached objects, the cache management and message receive threads are started, the metadata is loaded from the disk cache and the cache is registered with the group protocol layer if the cache is distributed. This method should only be called once for each process.

Throws:

CacheException - if the open() fails.

open

public static void open(java.lang.String configFile)
                 throws CacheException

reads the configuration files and establishs the Java caching system in the process. During the initialization, a hash table is created for storing cached objects, the cache management and message receive threads are started, the metadata is loaded from the disk cache and the cache is registered with the group protocol layer if the cache is distributed. This method should only be called once for each process.

Parameters:

configFile - the name of the configuration file to read the configuration information from

Throws:

CacheException - if the open() fails.

init

public static void init(oracle.ias.cache.CacheAttributes attr)
                 throws CacheException

initializes the cache. This includes allocating space for metadata and starting service threads. The attributes parameter contains configuration information to initialize the cache system.

Parameters:

attr - CacheAttributes which has the cache configuration information.

Throws:

CacheException - if the init() fails.

Since:

2.0.0

close

public static void close()

marks the cache as " not ready" and shutdown the cache. Marking the cache as "not ready" will prevent any threads from accessing the cache during shutdown. If the cache is distributed, close will unregister with the distributed caching system. Close should be called as part of process termination.

Since:

2.0.0

getAttributes

public static oracle.ias.cache.CacheAttributes getAttributes()
                                                      throws CacheNotAvailableException

returns the attributes currently associated with the cache.

Returns:

a CacheAttributes object with all the configuration information.

Throws:

CacheNotAvailableException - if the cache has not been intialized.

Since:

2.0.0

getObjectCount

public static int getObjectCount()
                          throws CacheNotAvailableException

getCacheSize

public static long getCacheSize()
                         throws CacheNotAvailableException

returns an estimate of the number of bytes consumed by objects in the memory cache. The accuracy of this value depends on the accuracy of the size attribute set by the user for each object in the cache. If the cache configuration parameter "maxSize" has not been set, the cache size is not maintained so this method will always return 0.

Returns:

an estimate of the number of bytes consumed by objects in the cache

Throws:

CacheNotAvailableException - if the cache has not been intialized.

Since:

2.1.1

If the disk cache is not configured, this method will return 0.

Returns:

the number of bytes consumed by objects in the local disk cache

Throws:

CacheNotAvailableException - if the cache has not been intialized.

Since:

2.1.1

getDistributedDiskCacheSize

public static long getDistributedDiskCacheSize()
                                        throws CacheNotAvailableException

returns the number of bytes consumed by objects in the distributed disk cache. If the disk cache is not configured or the cache is not distributed, this method will return 0.
