Ehcache (ehcache 2.10.1 API)

Ehcache is the central interface. Caches have Elements and are managed by the CacheManager. The Cache performs logical actions. It delegates physical implementations to its Stores.

A reference to an EhCache can be obtained through the CacheManager. An Ehcache thus obtained is guaranteed to have status Status.STATUS_ALIVE. This status is checked for any method which throws IllegalStateException and the same thrown if it is not alive. This would normally happen if a call is made after CacheManager.shutdown() is invoked.

Statistics on cache usage are collected and made available through public methods.

Method Detail

put

void put(Element element)
         throws IllegalArgumentException,
                IllegalStateException,
                CacheException

Put an element in the cache.

Resets the access statistics on the element, which would be the case if it has previously been gotten from a cache, and is now being put back.

Also notifies the CacheEventListener that:

the element was put, but only if the Element was actually put.
if the element exists in the cache, that an update has occurred, even if the element would be expired if it was requested

Parameters:: element - An object. If Serializable it can fully participate in replication and the DiskStore.
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; IllegalArgumentException - if the element is null; CacheException

putAll

void putAll(Collection<Element> elements)
            throws IllegalArgumentException,
                   IllegalStateException,
                   CacheException

Puts a collection of elements in to the cache.

This method will throw a NullPointerException if a null element or null key is encountered in the collection, and a partial completion may result (as only some of the elements may have been put).

For each element that is put the registered CacheEventListeners are notified of a newly put item (notifyElementPut(...)) regardless of whether the individual put is a new put or an update.

Parameters:: elements - the collection of elements to be put in the cache.
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; CacheException; IllegalArgumentException

put

void put(Element element,
         boolean doNotNotifyCacheReplicators)
         throws IllegalArgumentException,
                IllegalStateException,
                CacheException

Put an element in the cache.

Resets the access statistics on the element, which would be the case if it has previously been gotten from a cache, and is now being put back.

Also notifies the CacheEventListener that:

the element was put, but only if the Element was actually put.
if the element exists in the cache, that an update has occurred, even if the element would be expired if it was requested

Parameters:: element - An object. If Serializable it can fully participate in replication and the DiskStore.; doNotNotifyCacheReplicators - whether the put is coming from a doNotNotifyCacheReplicators cache peer, in which case this put should not initiate a further notification to doNotNotifyCacheReplicators cache peers
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; IllegalArgumentException - if the element is null; CacheException

putQuiet

void putQuiet(Element element)
              throws IllegalArgumentException,
                     IllegalStateException,
                     CacheException

Put an element in the cache, without updating statistics, or updating listeners. This is meant to be used in conjunction with getQuiet(java.io.Serializable)

Parameters:: element - An object. If Serializable it can fully participate in replication and the DiskStore.
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; IllegalArgumentException - if the element is null; CacheException

putWithWriter

void putWithWriter(Element element)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException,
                          IllegalStateException,
                          CacheException

Put an element in the cache writing through a CacheWriter. If no CacheWriter has been registered for the cache, then this method throws an exception.

Resets the access statistics on the element, which would be the case if it has previously been gotten from a cache, and is now being put back.

Also notifies the CacheEventListener, if the writer operation succeeds, that:

the element was put, but only if the Element was actually put.
if the element exists in the cache, that an update has occurred, even if the element would be expired if it was requested

Parameters:: element - An object. If Serializable it can fully participate in replication and the DiskStore.
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; IllegalArgumentException - if the element is null; CacheException - if no CacheWriter was registered

Parameters:: element - element to be added
Returns:: the element previously cached for this key, or null if none.
Throws:: NullPointerException - if the element is null, or has a null key

putIfAbsent

Element putIfAbsent(Element element,
                    boolean doNotNotifyCacheReplicators)

This is equivalent to

   if (elementValueComparator.equals(cache.get(element.getObjectKey()), element)) {
       return cache.remove(element.getObjectKey());
   } else return false;

except that the action is performed atomically.

List getKeys()
             throws IllegalStateException,
                    CacheException

Returns a list of all elements in the cache, whether or not they are expired.

The returned keys are unique and can be considered a set.

The List returned is not live. It is a copy.

The time taken is O(n). On a single cpu 1.8Ghz P4, approximately 8ms is required for each 1000 entries.

Returns:: a list of Object keys
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; CacheException

getKeysWithExpiryCheck

List getKeysWithExpiryCheck()
                            throws IllegalStateException,
                                   CacheException

Returns a list of all elements in the cache. Only keys of non-expired elements are returned.

The returned keys are unique and can be considered a set.

The List returned is not live. It is a copy.

For large caches - or caches with high-latency storage this method can take a very long time to complete. You should seriously consider whether your usage requires checking for expired keys before choosing to call this method. As this method can take a long time the results may also be significantly out of date by the time the method returns.

Returns:: a list of Object keys
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE; CacheException

getKeysNoDuplicateCheck

@Deprecated
List getKeysNoDuplicateCheck()
                             throws IllegalStateException

Deprecated. versions since 2.1 do not return duplicates

Returns a list of all elements in the cache, whether or not they are expired.

The returned keys are not unique and may contain duplicates. If the cache is only using the memory store, the list will be unique. If the disk store is being used as well, it will likely contain duplicates, because of the internal store design.

The List returned is not live. It is a copy.

The time taken is O(log n). On a single cpu 1.8Ghz P4, approximately 6ms is required for 1000 entries and 36 for 50000.

This is the fastest getKeys method

Returns:: a list of Object keys

removeAll

void removeAll(boolean doNotNotifyCacheReplicators)
               throws IllegalStateException,
                      CacheException

Removes all cached items.

When using Terracotta clustered caches with nonstop enabled, the timeout used by this method is NonstopConfiguration.getBulkOpsTimeoutMultiplyFactor() times the timeout value in the nonstop config.

Parameters:: doNotNotifyCacheReplicators - whether the put is coming from a doNotNotifyCacheReplicators cache peer, in which case this put should not initiate a further notification to doNotNotifyCacheReplicators cache peers

getSize

int getSize()
            throws IllegalStateException,
                   CacheException

Gets the size of the cache. This is a subtle concept. See below.

The size is the number of Elements in the MemoryStore plus the number of Elements in the DiskStore.

This number is the actual number of elements, including expired elements that have not been removed.

Expired elements are removed from the the memory store when getting an expired element, or when attempting to spool an expired element to disk.

Expired elements are removed from the disk store when getting an expired element, or when the expiry thread runs, which is once every five minutes.

To get an exact size, which would exclude expired elements, use getKeysWithExpiryCheck().size(), although see that method for the approximate time that would take.

To get a very fast result, use getKeysNoDuplicateCheck().size(). If the disk store is being used, there will be some duplicates.

Note:getSize() is a very expensive operation in off-heap, disk and Terracotta implementations.

Returns:: The size value

clone

Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

getCacheEventNotificationService

RegisteredEventListeners getCacheEventNotificationService()

Use this to access the service in order to register and unregister listeners

Returns:: the RegisteredEventListeners instance for this cache.

isElementInMemory

boolean isElementInMemory(Serializable key)

Whether an Element is stored in the cache in Memory, indicating a very low cost of retrieval.

Since no assertions are made about the state of the Element it is possible that the Element is expired, but this method still returns true.

Returns:: true if an element matching the key is found in memory

isElementInMemory

boolean isElementInMemory(Object key)

Whether an Element is stored in the cache in Memory, indicating a very low cost of retrieval.

Since no assertions are made about the state of the Element it is possible that the Element is expired, but this method still returns true.

Returns:: true if an element matching the key is found in memory
Since:: 1.2

isElementOnDisk

boolean isElementOnDisk(Serializable key)

Whether an Element is stored in the cache on Disk, indicating a higher cost of retrieval.

Since no assertions are made about the state of the Element it is possible that the Element is expired, but this method still returns true.

Returns:: true if an element matching the key is found in the diskStore

isElementOnDisk

boolean isElementOnDisk(Object key)

Whether an Element is stored in the cache on Disk, indicating a higher cost of retrieval.

Since no assertions are made about the state of the Element it is possible that the Element is expired, but this method still returns true.

Returns:: true if an element matching the key is found in the diskStore
Since:: 1.2

getGuid

String getGuid()

The GUID for this cache instance can be used to determine whether two cache instance references are pointing to the same cache.

Returns:: the globally unique identifier for this cache instance. This is guaranteed to be unique.
Since:: 1.2

getCacheManager

CacheManager getCacheManager()

Gets the CacheManager managing this cache. For a newly created cache this will be null until it has been added to a CacheManager.

Returns:: the manager or null if there is none

evictExpiredElements

void evictExpiredElements()

Causes all elements stored in the Cache to be synchronously checked for expiry, and if expired, evicted.

For large caches - or caches with high-latency storage this method can take a very long time to complete. You should seriously consider relying on some form of capacity eviction to control cache capacity over calling this method. As this method can take a long time the cache may not be fully purged of expired elements on return, since more elements may have expired during the call.

isKeyInCache

boolean isKeyInCache(Object key)

An inexpensive check to see if the key exists in the cache.

Since no assertions are made about the state of the Element it is possible that the Element is expired, but this method still returns true.

Parameters:: key - the key to check for
Returns:: true if an Element matching the key is found in the cache. No assertions are made about the state of the Element.

isValueInCache

boolean isValueInCache(Object value)

An extremely expensive check to see if the value exists in the cache.

Parameters:: value - to check for
Returns:: true if an Element matching the key is found in the cache. No assertions are made about the state of the Element.

getStatistics

StatisticsGateway getStatistics()
                                throws IllegalStateException

Gets an immutable Statistics object representing the Cache statistics at the time. How the statistics are calculated depends on the statistics accuracy setting. The only aspect of statistics sensitive to the accuracy setting is object size. How that is calculated is discussed below.

Best Effort Size

This result is returned when the statistics accuracy setting is Statistics#STATISTICS_ACCURACY_BEST_EFFORT.

The size is the number of Elements in the MemoryStore plus the number of Elements in the DiskStore.

This number is the actual number of elements, including expired elements that have not been removed. Any duplicates between stores are accounted for.

Expired elements are removed from the the memory store when getting an expired element, or when attempting to spool an expired element to disk.

Expired elements are removed from the disk store when getting an expired element, or when the expiry thread runs, which is once every five minutes.

Guaranteed Accuracy Size

This result is returned when the statistics accuracy setting is Statistics#STATISTICS_ACCURACY_GUARANTEED.

This method accounts for elements which might be expired or duplicated between stores. It take approximately 200ms per 1000 elements to execute.

Fast but non-accurate Size

This result is returned when the statistics accuracy setting is Statistics#STATISTICS_ACCURACY_NONE.

The number given may contain expired elements. In addition if the DiskStore is used it may contain some double counting of elements. It takes 6ms for 1000 elements to execute. Time to execute is O(log n). 50,000 elements take 36ms.

Returns:: the number of elements in the ehcache, with a varying degree of accuracy, depending on accuracy setting.
Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

setCacheManager

void setCacheManager(CacheManager cacheManager)

Sets the CacheManager

Parameters:: cacheManager - the CacheManager for this cache to use.

getBootstrapCacheLoader

BootstrapCacheLoader getBootstrapCacheLoader()

void setBootstrapCacheLoader(BootstrapCacheLoader bootstrapCacheLoader)
                             throws CacheException

Sets the bootstrap cache loader.

Parameters:: bootstrapCacheLoader - the loader to be used
Throws:: CacheException - if this method is called after the cache is initialized

initialise

void initialise()

Newly created caches do not have a MemoryStore or a DiskStore.

This method creates those and makes the cache ready to accept elements

This method is not intended to be called explicitly, but rather is called implicitly by the cache's CacheManager instance during the cache initialization. Invoking this method directly will likely lead to breaking.

bootstrap

void bootstrap()

Bootstrap command. This must be called after the Cache is intialised, during CacheManager initialisation. If loads are synchronous, they will complete before the CacheManager initialise completes, otherwise they will happen in the background.

dispose

void dispose()
             throws IllegalStateException

Flushes all cache items from memory to auxilliary caches and close the auxilliary caches.

Should be invoked only by CacheManager.

Throws:: IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

getCacheConfiguration

void unregisterCacheExtension(CacheExtension cacheExtension)

Unregister a CacheExtension with the cache. It will then be detached from the cache lifecycle.

getRegisteredCacheExtensions

List<CacheExtension> getRegisteredCacheExtensions()

Returns:: the cache extensions as a live list

Sets an ExceptionHandler on the Cache. If one is already set, it is overwritten.

getCacheExceptionHandler

CacheExceptionHandler getCacheExceptionHandler()

Sets an ExceptionHandler on the Cache. If one is already set, it is overwritten.

registerCacheLoader

void registerCacheLoader(CacheLoader cacheLoader)

The CacheLoader instance will be initialized when the cache itself is being initialized. Should the cache already be initialized, CacheLoader.init() will not be invoked. If the loader requires initialization, the user will have to call it manually before registering it with a Cache instance that's already alive

Parameters:: cacheLoader - A Cache Loader to register
Since:: While the javadoc has changed in 2.5.2, the behavior has not.

unregisterCacheLoader

void unregisterCacheLoader(CacheLoader cacheLoader)

Unregister a CacheLoader with the cache. It will then be detached from the cache lifecycle.

Parameters:: cacheLoader - A Cache Loader to unregister

getRegisteredCacheLoaders

List<CacheLoader> getRegisteredCacheLoaders()

Returns:: the cache loaders as a live list

registerDynamicAttributesExtractor

void registerDynamicAttributesExtractor(DynamicAttributesExtractor extractor)

Allows user to register a dynamic attribute extractor with a searchable cache that is dynamically indexable, as indicated by its configuration. Calling this method on such a cache is optional, but doing so more than once replaces previously registered extractor with the given one; i.e., there can be at most one extractor instance configured for each such cache. If the cache was not configured for dynamic indexing, an exception will be thrown

Parameters:: extractor -

registerCacheWriter

void registerCacheWriter(CacheWriter cacheWriter)

If the CacheWriter is not initialised, initialise it.

Parameters:: cacheWriter - A CacheWriter to register

unregisterCacheWriter

void unregisterCacheWriter()

Unregister the CacheWriter from the cache. It will then be detached from the cache lifecycle.

If not CacheWriter was registered beforehand this operation has no effect.

getRegisteredCacheWriter

CacheWriter getRegisteredCacheWriter()

Retrieves the CacheWriter that was registered for this cache.

Returns:: the registered CacheWriter; or null if none was registered before

getWithLoader

Element getWithLoader(Object key,
                      CacheLoader loader,
                      Object loaderArgument)
                      throws CacheException

This method will return, from the cache, the object associated with the argument "key".

If the object is not in the cache, the associated cache loader will be called. That is either the CacheLoader passed in, or if null, the one associated with the cache. If both are null, no load is performed and null is returned.

Because this method may take a long time to complete, it is not synchronized. The underlying cache operations are synchronized.

Parameters:: key - key whose associated value is to be returned.; loader - the override loader to use. If null, the cache's default loader will be used; loaderArgument - an argument to pass to the CacheLoader.
Returns:: an element if it existed or could be loaded, otherwise null
Throws:: CacheException

getAllWithLoader

Map getAllWithLoader(Collection keys,
                     Object loaderArgument)
                     throws CacheException

The getAll method will return, from the cache, a Map of the objects associated with the Collection of keys in argument "keys". If the objects are not in the cache, the associated cache loader will be called. If no loader is associated with an object, a null is returned. If a problem is encountered during the retrieving or loading of the objects, an exception will be thrown. If the "arg" argument is set, the arg object will be passed to the CacheLoader.loadAll method. The cache will not dereference the object. If no "arg" value is provided a null will be passed to the loadAll method. The storing of null values in the cache is permitted, however, the get method will not distinguish returning a null stored in the cache and not finding the object in the cache. In both cases a null is returned.

Note. If the getAll exceeds the maximum cache size, the returned map will necessarily be less than the number specified.

Because this method may take a long time to complete, it is not synchronized. The underlying cache operations are synchronized.

The constructs package provides similar functionality using the decorator SelfPopulatingCache

Parameters:: keys - a collection of keys to be returned/loaded; loaderArgument - an argument to pass to the CacheLoader.
Returns:: a Map populated from the Cache. If there are no elements, an empty Map is returned.
Throws:: CacheException

load

void load(Object key)
          throws CacheException

The load method provides a means to "pre load" the cache. This method will, asynchronously, load the specified object into the cache using the associated cacheloader. If the object already exists in the cache, no action is taken. If no loader is associated with the object, no object will be loaded into the cache. If a problem is encountered during the retrieving or loading of the object, an exception should be logged. If the "arg" argument is set, the arg object will be passed to the CacheLoader.load method. The cache will not dereference the object. If no "arg" value is provided a null will be passed to the load method. The storing of null values in the cache is permitted, however, the get method will not distinguish returning a null stored in the cache and not finding the object in the cache. In both cases a null is returned.

The Ehcache native API provides similar functionality to loaders using the decorator SelfPopulatingCache

Parameters:: key - key whose associated value to be loaded using the associated cacheloader if this cache doesn't contain it.
Throws:: CacheException

loadAll

void loadAll(Collection keys,
             Object argument)
             throws CacheException

The loadAll method provides a means to "pre load" objects into the cache. This method will, asynchronously, load the specified objects into the cache using the associated cache loader. If the an object already exists in the cache, no action is taken. If no loader is associated with the object, no object will be loaded into the cache. If a problem is encountered during the retrieving or loading of the objects, an exception (to be defined) should be logged. The getAll method will return, from the cache, a Map of the objects associated with the Collection of keys in argument "keys". If the objects are not in the cache, the associated cache loader will be called. If no loader is associated with an object, a null is returned. If a problem is encountered during the retrieving or loading of the objects, an exception (to be defined) will be thrown. If the "arg" argument is set, the arg object will be passed to the CacheLoader.loadAll method. The cache will not dereference the object. If no "arg" value is provided a null will be passed to the loadAll method.

keys - collection of the keys whose associated values to be loaded into this cache by using the associated cacheloader if this cache doesn't contain them.
