Constructor Detail

RMICachePeer

public RMICachePeer(Ehcache cache,
                    String hostName,
                    Integer rmiRegistryPort,
                    Integer remoteObjectPort,
                    Integer socketTimeoutMillis)
             throws RemoteException

Construct a new remote peer.

Parameters:

cache - The cache attached to the peer

hostName - The host name the peer is running on.

rmiRegistryPort - The port number on which the RMI Registry listens. Should be an unused port in the range 1025 - 65536

remoteObjectPort - the port number on which the remote objects bound in the registry receive calls. This defaults to a free port if not specified. Should be an unused port in the range 1025 - 65536

socketTimeoutMillis -

Throws:

RemoteException

Method Detail

getUrl

public final String getUrl()

The URL for the remote replicator to connect. The value will only have meaning for a specific implementation of replicator and remote peer.

This method is not meant to be used remotely. The replicator already needs to know this. It has to throw RemoteException to comply with RMI requirements

This implementation gives an URL which has meaning to the RMI remoting system.

Specified by:

getUrl in interface CachePeer

Returns:

the URL, without the scheme, as a string e.g. //hostname:port/cacheName

getUrlBase

public final String getUrlBase()

The URL base for the remote replicator to connect. The value will have meaning only to a specific implementation of replicator and remote peer.

This implementation gives an URL which has meaning to the RMI remoting system.

Specified by:

getUrlBase in interface CachePeer

Returns:

the URL, without the scheme, as a string e.g. //hostname:port

getKeys

public List getKeys()
             throws RemoteException

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.

Specified by:

getKeys in interface CachePeer

Returns:

a list of Object keys

Throws:

RemoteException

getQuiet

public Element getQuiet(Serializable key)
                 throws RemoteException

Gets an element from the cache, without updating Element statistics. Cache statistics are still updated.

Specified by:

getQuiet in interface CachePeer

Parameters:

key - a serializable value

Returns:

the element, or null, if it does not exist.

Throws:

RemoteException

getElements

public List getElements(List keys)
                 throws RemoteException

Gets a list of elements from the cache, for a list of keys, without updating Element statistics. Time to idle lifetimes are therefore not affected.

Cache statistics are still updated.

Callers should ideally first call this method with a small list of keys to gauge the size of a typical Element. Then a calculation can be made of the right number to request each time so as to optimise network performance and not cause an OutOfMemory error on this Cache.

Specified by:

getElements in interface CachePeer

Parameters:

keys - a list of serializable values which represent keys

Returns:

a list of Elements. If an element was not found or null, it will not be in the list.

Throws:

RemoteException

put

public void put(Element element)
         throws RemoteException,
                IllegalArgumentException,
                IllegalStateException

Puts an Element into the underlying cache without notifying listeners or updating statistics.

Specified by:

put in interface CachePeer

Parameters:

element -

Throws:

RemoteException

IllegalArgumentException

IllegalStateException

remove

public boolean remove(Serializable key)
               throws RemoteException,
                      IllegalStateException

Removes an Element from the underlying cache without notifying listeners or updating statistics.

Specified by:

remove in interface CachePeer

Parameters:

key -

Returns:

true if the element was removed, false if it was not found in the cache

Throws:

RemoteException

IllegalStateException

removeAll

public void removeAll()
               throws RemoteException,
                      IllegalStateException

Removes all cached items.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface CachePeer

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

RemoteException

send

public void send(List eventMessages)
          throws RemoteException

Send the cache peer with an ordered list of EventMessages

This enables multiple messages to be delivered in one network invocation.

Specified by:

send in interface CachePeer

Parameters:

eventMessages - a list of type EventMessage

Throws:

RemoteException

getName

public final String getName()
                     throws RemoteException

Gets the cache name

Specified by:

getName in interface CachePeer

Throws:

RemoteException

getGuid

public final String getGuid()
                     throws RemoteException

Gets the globally unique id for the underlying Cache instance.

Specified by:

getGuid in interface CachePeer

Returns:

a String representation of the GUID

Throws:

RemoteException

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String that represents the value of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class RemoteObject
