PojoCacheFactory provides a couple of static methods to instantiate and obtain a PojoCache instance.

/**
 * Create a PojoCache instance. Note that this will start the cache life cycle automatically.
 * @param config A configuration string that represents the file name that is used to
 * configure the underlying Cache instance.
 * @return PojoCache
 */
public static PojoCache createInstance(String config);

/**
 * Create a PojoCache instance.
 * @param config A configuration string that represents the file name that is used to
 * configure the underlying Cache instance.
 * @param start If true, it will start the cache life cycle.
 * @return PojoCache
 */
public static PojoCache createInstance(String config, boolean start);

/**
 * Create a PojoCache instance.
 * @param config A configuration object that is used to configure the underlying Cache instance.
 * @param start If true, it will start the cache life cycle.
 * @return PojoCache
 */
public static PojoCache createInstance(Configuration config, boolean start);

For example, to obtain a PojoCache instance and start the cache lifestyle automatically, we can do:

String configFile = "META-INF/replSync-service.xml";
PojoCache cache = PojoCacheFactory.createInstance(configFile);
