Interface DistributedMap

- All Superinterfaces:
- java.util.Map
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- DistributedObjectCache
public interface DistributedMap extends java.util.Map
This class provides applications with an extended java.util.Map interface to access the WebSphere Dynamic Cache, allowing inspection and manipulation of the cache. The cache does not have any authorization checking done before allowing access to its contents, so care should be taken on the type of data that is placed in the cache. The default WebSphere Dynamic Cache instance is created when the cache is enabled in the administrative console and is bound into the global JNDI namespace with the name "services/cache/distributedmap". Additional cache instances can be created using a properties file cacheinstances.properties with the following format:cache.instance.0=/services/cache/instance_one cache.instance.0.cacheSize=1000 cache.instance.0.enableDiskOffload=true cache.instance.0.diskOffloadLocation=${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/temp cache.instance.1=/services/cache/instance_two cache.instance.1.cacheSize=1500 cache.instance.1.enableDiskOffload=true cache.instance.1.diskOffloadLocation=C:/disk The distributedmap.properties file must be located in either you application server or application's classpath. The first entry in the properties file (cache.instance.0) specifies the JNDI name for the cache instance in the global namespace. You could then lookup the cache instance using the following code:InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); DistributedMap dm =(DistributedMap)ic.lookup("services/cache/instance_one"); Alternatively, you can define a resource-ref for in cache in your module's deployement descriptor and then lookup the cache using the java:comp namespace.dmap/LayoutCache com.ibm.websphere.cache.DistributedMap Container Shareable InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); DistributedMap dm =(DistributedMap)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/dmap/LayoutCache");

boolean isDRSBootstrapEnabled()
isDRSBootstrapEnabled - check whether DRS bootstrap for DistributedMap is enabled or not.- Returns:
- returns the current DRS bootstrap of DistributedMap. True means enabled
- See Also:
setDRSBootstrap(boolean)
-
setTimeToLive
void setTimeToLive(int timeToLive)
Set the global time-to-live this this map.- Parameters:
timeToLive
- the time in seconds that cache entries should remain in the cache. The default value is -1 and means the entry does not time out.

setPriority
void setPriority(int priority)
Sets the global priority for this map..- Parameters:
priority
- the global priority value for the cache entries. entries with higher priority will remain in the cache longer than those with a lower priority in the case of cache overflow. Valid priorities are 1 through 16 with 1 being the default value. 1 is the lowest priority and 16 is the highest.
-
get
java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)
Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. Returns null if the map contains no mapping for this key. A return value of null does not necessarily indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly maps the key to null. The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.- Specified by:
get
in interfacejava.util.Map
- Parameters:
key
- key whose associated value is to be returned.- Returns:
- the value to which this map maps the specified key, or null if the map contains no mapping for this key.
- Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException
- if the key is not of an inappropriate type for this map. (Currently supports only String)java.lang.NullPointerException
- key is null and this map does not not permit null keys.- See Also:
Map.containsKey(Object)
-
put
java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Object value)
Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map (optional operation). If the map previously contained a mapping for this key, the old value is replaced. This method will use optional metadata looked up from the cache configuration file. If no meta data is found, the entrie is cached with an infinite timeout and the cache's default priority. Metadata found in the cache configuration is looked up via class name and includes priority, timeout, and dependency ids.- Specified by:
put
in interfacejava.util.Map
- Parameters:
key
- key with which the specified value is to be associated.value
- value to be associated with the specified key.- Returns:
- previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for key. A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with the specified key, if the implementation supports null values.
- Throws:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
- if the put operation is not supported by this map.java.lang.ClassCastException
- if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
