Class EhCacheFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheFactoryBean
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<net.sf.ehcache.Ehcache>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

public class EhCacheFactoryBean
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<net.sf.ehcache.Ehcache>, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

FactoryBean that creates a named EHCache Cache instance (or a decorator that implements the Ehcache interface), representing a cache region within an EHCache CacheManager.

If the specified named cache is not configured in the cache configuration descriptor, this FactoryBean will construct an instance of a Cache with the provided name and the specified cache properties and add it to the CacheManager for later retrieval. If some or all properties are not set at configuration time, this FactoryBean will use defaults.

Note: If the named Cache instance is found, the properties will be ignored and the Cache instance will be retrieved from the CacheManager.

Note: As of Spring 3.0, Spring's EHCache support requires EHCache 1.3 or higher.

Since:
1.1.1

EhCacheFactoryBean

public EhCacheFactoryBean()
Method Detail

setCacheManager

public void setCacheManager(net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager cacheManager)
Set a CacheManager from which to retrieve a named Cache instance. By default, CacheManager.getInstance() will be called.

Note that in particular for persistent caches, it is advisable to properly handle the shutdown of the CacheManager: Set up a separate EhCacheManagerFactoryBean and pass a reference to this bean property.

A separate EhCacheManagerFactoryBean is also necessary for loading EHCache configuration from a non-default config location.

See Also:
EhCacheManagerFactoryBean, CacheManager.getInstance()

setCacheName

public void setCacheName(java.lang.String cacheName)
Set a name for which to retrieve or create a cache instance. Default is the bean name of this EhCacheFactoryBean.


setMaxElementsInMemory

public void setMaxElementsInMemory(int maxElementsInMemory)
Specify the maximum number of cached objects in memory. Default is 10000 elements.


setMaxElementsOnDisk

public void setMaxElementsOnDisk(int maxElementsOnDisk)
Specify the maximum number of cached objects on disk. Default is 10000000 elements.


setMemoryStoreEvictionPolicy

public void setMemoryStoreEvictionPolicy(net.sf.ehcache.store.MemoryStoreEvictionPolicy memoryStoreEvictionPolicy)
Set the memory style eviction policy for this cache.

Supported values are "LRU", "LFU" and "FIFO", according to the constants defined in EHCache's MemoryStoreEvictionPolicy class. Default is "LRU".


setOverflowToDisk

public void setOverflowToDisk(boolean overflowToDisk)
Set whether elements can overflow to disk when the in-memory cache has reached the maximum size limit. Default is "true".


setEternal

public void setEternal(boolean eternal)
Set whether elements are considered as eternal. If "true", timeouts are ignored and the element is never expired. Default is "false".


setTimeToLive

public void setTimeToLive(int timeToLive)
Set the time in seconds to live for an element before it expires, i.e. the maximum time between creation time and when an element expires.

This is only used if the element is not eternal. Default is 120 seconds.


setTimeToIdle

public void setTimeToIdle(int timeToIdle)
Set the time in seconds to idle for an element before it expires, that is, the maximum amount of time between accesses before an element expires.

This is only used if the element is not eternal. Default is 120 seconds.


setDiskPersistent

public void setDiskPersistent(boolean diskPersistent)
Set whether the disk store persists between restarts of the Virtual Machine. Default is "false".


setDiskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds

public void setDiskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds(int diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds)
Set the number of seconds between runs of the disk expiry thread. Default is 120 seconds.


setDiskSpoolBufferSize

public void setDiskSpoolBufferSize(int diskSpoolBufferSize)
Set the amount of memory to allocate the write buffer for puts to the disk store. Default is 0.


setClearOnFlush

public void setClearOnFlush(boolean clearOnFlush)
Set whether the memory store should be cleared when flush is called on the cache. Default is "true".


setBlocking

public void setBlocking(boolean blocking)
Set whether to use a blocking cache that lets read attempts block until the requested element is created.

If you intend to build a self-populating blocking cache, consider specifying a CacheEntryFactory.

See Also:
BlockingCache, setCacheEntryFactory(net.sf.ehcache.constructs.blocking.CacheEntryFactory)

setCacheEntryFactory

public void setCacheEntryFactory(net.sf.ehcache.constructs.blocking.CacheEntryFactory cacheEntryFactory)
Set an EHCache CacheEntryFactory to use for a self-populating cache. If such a factory is specified, the cache will be decorated with EHCache's SelfPopulatingCache.

The specified factory can be of type UpdatingCacheEntryFactory, which will lead to the use of an UpdatingSelfPopulatingCache.

Note: Any such self-populating cache is automatically a blocking cache.

See Also:
SelfPopulatingCache, UpdatingSelfPopulatingCache, UpdatingCacheEntryFactory

setBootstrapCacheLoader

public void setBootstrapCacheLoader(net.sf.ehcache.bootstrap.BootstrapCacheLoader bootstrapCacheLoader)
Set an EHCache BootstrapCacheLoader for this cache, if any.


setCacheEventListeners

public void setCacheEventListeners(java.util.Set<net.sf.ehcache.event.CacheEventListener> cacheEventListeners)
Specify EHCache cache event listeners to registered with this cache.


setStatisticsEnabled

public void setStatisticsEnabled(boolean statisticsEnabled)
Set whether to enable EhCache statistics on this cache.

See Also:
Cache.setStatisticsEnabled(boolean)

setSampledStatisticsEnabled

public void setSampledStatisticsEnabled(boolean sampledStatisticsEnabled)
Set whether to enable EhCache's sampled statistics on this cache.

See Also:
Cache.setSampledStatisticsEnabled(boolean)

setDisabled

public void setDisabled(boolean disabled)
Set whether this cache should be marked as disabled.

See Also:
Cache.setDisabled(boolean)
