Interface EmbeddedCacheManager

All Superinterfaces:

BasicCacheContainer, CacheContainer, Lifecycle, Listenable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDelegatingEmbeddedCacheManager, AbstractDelegatingEmbeddedCacheManager, DefaultCacheManager

public interface EmbeddedCacheManager
extends CacheContainer, Listenable

EmbeddedCacheManager is an CacheManager that runs in the same JVM as the client.

Constructing a EmbeddedCacheManager is done via one of its constructors, which optionally take in a Configuration or a path or URL to a configuration XML file: see DefaultCacheManager.

Lifecycle - EmbeddedCacheManagers have a lifecycle (it implements Lifecycle) and the default constructors also call Lifecycle.start(). Overloaded versions of the constructors are available, that do not start the CacheManager, although it must be kept in mind that CacheManagers need to be started before they can be used to create Cache instances.

Once constructed, EmbeddedCacheManagers should be made available to any component that requires a Cache, via JNDI or via some other mechanism such as an dependency injection framework.

Method Detail

defineConfiguration

Configuration defineConfiguration(String cacheName,
                                  Configuration configuration)

Defines a named cache's configuration by using the provided configuration

Unlike previous versions of Infinispan, this method does not build on an existing configuration (default or named). If you want this behavior, then use ConfigurationBuilder.read(org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration).

The other way to define named cache's configuration is declaratively, in the XML file passed in to the cache manager.

If this cache was already configured either declaritively or programmatically this method will throw a CacheConfigurationException.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache whose configuration is being defined

configuration - configuration overrides to use

Returns:

a cloned configuration instance

defineConfiguration

Configuration defineConfiguration(String cacheName,
                                  String templateCacheName,
                                  Configuration configurationOverride)

Defines a named cache's configuration using by first reading the template configuration and then applying the override afterwards to generate a configuration.

The other way to define named cache's configuration is declaratively, in the XML file passed in to the cache manager.

If templateName is null or there isn't any named cache with that name, this methods works exactly like defineConfiguration(String, Configuration).

If this cache was already configured either declaritively or programmatically this method will throw a CacheConfigurationException.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache whose configuration is being defined

templateCacheName - name of cache to use as a template before overrides are applied to it

configurationOverride - configuration overrides to use

Returns:

a cloned configuration instance

undefineConfiguration

void undefineConfiguration(String configurationName)

Removes a configuration from the set of defined configurations. If the configuration is currently in use by one of the caches, an IllegalStateException is thrown. If the named configuration does not exist, nothing happens

Parameters:

configurationName - the named configuration

getClusterName

String getClusterName()

Returns:

the name of the cluster. Null if running in local mode.

getMembers

List<Address> getMembers()

Returns:

the default configuration associated with this CacheManager

getCacheNames

Set<String> getCacheNames()

This method returns a collection of caches names which contains the caches that have been defined via XML or programmatically, and the caches that have been created at runtime via this cache manager instance. If no named caches are registered or no caches have been created, this method returns an empty set. The default cache is never included in this set of cache names, as well a caches for internal-only use InternalCacheRegistry

Returns:

an immutable set of non-default named caches registered or created with this cache manager.

getCacheConfigurationNames

default Set<String> getCacheConfigurationNames()

This method returns a collection of cache configuration names which contains the cache configurations that have been defined via XML or programmatically, and the cache configurations that have been defined at runtime via this cache manager instance. If no cache configurations are registered or no caches have been created, this method returns an empty set. The default cache is never included in this set of cache names, as well a caches for internal-only use InternalCacheRegistry

Returns:

an immutable set of non-default named caches registered or created with this cache manager.

Since:

8.2

isRunning

boolean isRunning(String cacheName)

Tests whether a named cache is running.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache to test.

Returns:

true if the named cache exists and is running; false otherwise.

isDefaultRunning

boolean isDefaultRunning()

Tests whether the default cache is running.

Returns:

true if the default cache is running; false otherwise.

cacheExists

boolean cacheExists(String cacheName)

A cache is considered to exist if it has been created and started via one of the CacheContainer.getCache() methods and has not yet been removed via removeCache(String).

In environments when caches are continuously created and removed, this method offers the possibility to find out whether a cache has either, not been started, or if it was started, whether it's been removed already or not.

Parameters:

cacheName -

Returns:

true if the cache with the given name has not yet been started, or if it was started, whether it's been removed or not.

getCache

<K,V> Cache<K,V> getCache(String cacheName,
                          boolean createIfAbsent)

Retrieves a named cache from the system in the same way that CacheContainer.getCache(String) does except that if offers the possibility for the named cache not to be retrieved if it has not yet been started, or if it's been removed after being started. If a non-template configuration exists with the same name, it will be used to configure the cache.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache to retrieve

createIfAbsent - if false, the named cache will not be retrieved if it hasn't been retrieved previously or if it's been removed. If true, this methods works just like CacheContainer.getCache(String)

Returns:

null if no named cache exists as per rules set above, otherwise returns a cache instance identified by cacheName

getCache

<K,V> Cache<K,V> getCache(String cacheName,
                          String configurationName)

Deprecated. as of 9.0. Use defineConfiguration(String, String, Configuration) and CacheContainer.getCache(String) instead

Retrieves a named cache from the system in the same way that CacheContainer.getCache(String) does except that if offers the possibility to specify a specific configuration template. Multiple caches can be created using the same configuration.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache to retrieve

configurationName - name of the configuration template to use

Returns:

null if no configuration exists as per rules set above, otherwise returns a cache instance identified by cacheName

getCache

<K,V> Cache<K,V> getCache(String cacheName,
                          String configurationTemplate,
                          boolean createIfAbsent)

Deprecated. as of 9.0. Use defineConfiguration(String, String, Configuration) and getCache(String, boolean) instead

Retrieves a named cache from the system in the same way that CacheContainer.getCache(String) does except that if offers the possibility to specify a specific configuration template. Multiple caches can be created using the same configuration. Tihs method also offers the possibility for the named cache not to be retrieved if it has not yet been started, or if it's been removed after being started.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache to retrieve

configurationTemplate - name of the configuration template to use

createIfAbsent - if false, the named cache will not be retrieved if it hasn't been retrieved previously or if it's been removed. If true, this methods works just like getCache(String, String)

Returns:

null if no configuration exists as per rules set above, otherwise returns a cache instance identified by cacheName

startCaches

EmbeddedCacheManager startCaches(String... cacheNames)

Starts a set of caches in parallel. Infinispan supports both symmetric and asymmetric clusters; that is, multiple nodes having the same or different sets of caches running, respectively. Calling this method on application/application server startup with all your cache names will ensure that the cluster is symmetric.

Parameters:

cacheNames - the names of the caches to start

Since:

5.0

removeCache

void removeCache(String cacheName)

Removes a cache with the given name from the system. This is a cluster wide operation that results not only in stopping the cache with the given name in all nodes in the cluster, but also deletes its contents both in memory and in any backing cache store.

Parameters:

cacheName - name of cache to remove

getTransport

Transport getTransport()

Since:

5.1

getGlobalComponentRegistry

GlobalComponentRegistry getGlobalComponentRegistry()

addCacheDependency

void addCacheDependency(String from,
                        String to)

Add a dependency between two caches. The cache manager will make sure that a cache is stopped before any of its dependencies

Parameters:

from - cache name

to - cache name

Since:

7.0

getStats

CacheContainerStats getStats()

Returns statistics for this cache manager since 7.1

Returns:

statistics for this cache manager

executor

default ClusterExecutor executor()

Providess the cache manager based executor. This can be used to execute a given operation upon the cluster or a single node if desired. If this manager is not clustered this will execute locally only.

Note that not all EmbeddedCacheManager implementations may implement this. Those that don't will throw a UnsupportedOperationException upon invocation.

Returns:

getHealth

Health getHealth()

Returns an entry point for a Health Check API.

Returns:

Health API for this EmbeddedCacheManager.

Since:

9.0
