Class AsyncCacheLoader

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.jboss.cache.loader.AsyncCacheLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

CacheLoader, org.jboss.system.Service

Direct Known Subclasses:

AsyncExtendedCacheLoader

public class AsyncCacheLoader

extends java.lang.Object

implements CacheLoader

The AsyncCacheLoader is a delegating cache loader that passes on all operations to the underlying CacheLoader impl passed in during construction. (See GOF Del;egate Pattern) Read operations are done synchronously, while write (CRUD - Create, Remove, Update, Delete) operations are done asynchronously. There is no provision for exception handling at the moment for problems encountered with the underlying CacheLoader during a CRUD operation, and the exception is just ignored. When configuring the CacheLoader, use the following attribute: <attribute name="CacheLoaderAsynchronous">true</attribute> to define whether cache loader operations are to be asynchronous. If not specified, cache loader ops are all synchronous (i.e., do not use this decorator)

Method Summary

void	commit(java.lang.Object tx) Commit the transaction.
void	create()
void	destroy()
boolean	exists(Fqn name) Checks whether the CacheLoader has a node with Fqn
java.util.Map	get(Fqn name) Returns all keys and values from the persistent store, given a fully qualified name

void	put(Fqn name, java.util.Map attributes) Inserts all elements of attributes into the attributes hashmap of the given node, overwriting existing attributes, but not clearing the existing hashmap before insertion (making it a union of existing and new attributes) If the node does not exist, all parent nodes from the root down are created automatically

void	removeData(Fqn name) Removes all attributes from a given node, but doesn't delete the node itself
void	rollback(java.lang.Object tx) Roll the transaction back.
void	setCache(TreeCache c) This method allows the CacheLoader to set the TreeCache, therefore allowing the CacheLoader to invoke methods of the TreeCache.
void	setConfig(java.util.Properties url) Sets the configuration.

AsyncCacheLoader

public AsyncCacheLoader()

AsyncCacheLoader

public AsyncCacheLoader(CacheLoader cacheLoader)

Method Detail

setConfig

public void setConfig(java.util.Properties url)

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

Sets the configuration. Will be called before Service.create() and Service.start()

Specified by:

setConfig in interface CacheLoader

Parameters:

url - A list of properties, defined in the XML file

setCache

public void setCache(TreeCache c)

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

This method allows the CacheLoader to set the TreeCache, therefore allowing the CacheLoader to invoke methods of the TreeCache. It can also use the TreeCache to fetch configuration information. Alternatively, the CacheLoader could maintain its own configuration
This method will be called directly after the CacheLoader instance has been created

Specified by:

setCache in interface CacheLoader

Parameters:

c - The cache on which this loader works

Returns:

Set. A list of children. Returns null if no children nodes are present, or the parent is not present

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

Checks whether the CacheLoader has a node with Fqn

Specified by:

Returns:

True if node exists, false otherwise

java.lang.Exception

put

public java.lang.Object put(Fqn name,

prepare

public void prepare(java.lang.Object tx,
                    java.util.List modifications,
                    boolean one_phase)
             throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

Prepare the modifications. For example, for a DB-based CacheLoader:

1. Create a local (JDBC) transaction
2. Associate the local transaction with tx (tx is the key)
3. Execute the coresponding SQL statements against the DB (statements derived from modifications)

For non-transactional CacheLoader (e.g. file-based), this could be a null operation

Specified by:

prepare in interface CacheLoader

Parameters:

tx - The transaction, just used as a hashmap key

modifications - List, a list of all modifications within the given transaction

one_phase - Persist immediately and (for example) commit the local JDBC transaction as well. When true, we won't get a CacheLoader.commit(Object) or CacheLoader.rollback(Object) method call later

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

commit

public void commit(java.lang.Object tx)
            throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

Commit the transaction. A DB-based CacheLoader would look up the local JDBC transaction asociated with tx and commit that transaction
Non-transactional CacheLoaders could simply write the data that was previously saved transiently under the given tx key, to (for example) a file system (note this only holds if the previous prepare() did not define one_phase=true

Specified by:

commit in interface CacheLoader

Parameters:

tx -

java.lang.Exception

rollback

public void rollback(java.lang.Object tx)

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

Roll the transaction back. A DB-based CacheLoader would look up the local JDBC transaction asociated with tx and roll back that transaction

Specified by:

rollback in interface CacheLoader

Parameters:

tx -

loadEntireState

public byte[] loadEntireState()
                       throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from interface: CacheLoader

Fetch the entire state for this cache from secondary storage (disk, DB) and return it as a byte buffer. This is for initialization of a new cache from a remote cache. The new cache would then call storeEntireState().
todo: define binary format for exchanging state

Specified by:

loadEntireState in interface CacheLoader

java.lang.Exception

storeEntireState

public void storeEntireState(byte[] state)
                      throws java.lang.Exception
