To use POJO Cache, you obtain the instance from the PojoCacheFactory by supplying a config file that is used by the delegating Cache implementation. Once the PojoCache instance is obtained, you can call the cache life cycle method to start the cache. Below is a code snippet that creates and starts the cache:

String configFile = "replSync-service.xml";
boolean toStart = false;
PojoCache pcache = PojoCacheFactory.createCache(configFiel, toStart);
pcache.start(); // if toStart above is true, it will starts the cache automatically.
pcache.attach(id, pojo);
// ...
pcache.stop(); // stop the cache. This will take PojoCache out of the clustering group, if any, e.g.
