Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the element is null

IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

CacheException - if no CacheWriter was registered

Specified by:

getQuiet in interface Ehcache

Parameters:

arg0 - a serializable value

Returns:

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

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

Returns:

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

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

CacheException

Ehcache.isExpired(net.sf.ehcache.Element)

getKeysWithExpiryCheck

public 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 As this method can take a long time the results may also be significantly out of date by the time the method returns.

Specified by:

getKeysWithExpiryCheck in interface Ehcache

Returns:

a list of Object keys

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

CacheException

getKeysNoDuplicateCheck

public List getKeysNoDuplicateCheck()
                             throws IllegalStateException

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

Specified by:

getKeysNoDuplicateCheck in interface Ehcache

Specified by:

removeWithWriter in interface Ehcache

Returns:

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

Specified by:

evictExpiredElements in interface Ehcache

isKeyInCache

public boolean isKeyInCache(Object arg0)

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.

Specified by:

isKeyInCache in interface Ehcache

Parameters:

arg0 - 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

public boolean isValueInCache(Object arg0)

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

Specified by:

isValueInCache in interface Ehcache

Parameters:

arg0 - to check for

getStatistics

public 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.

Specified by:

getStatistics in interface Ehcache

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

Register the CacheWriter for this cache. It will then be tied into the cache lifecycle.

If the CacheWriter is not initialised, initialise it.

Specified by:

registerCacheWriter in interface Ehcache

Parameters:

arg0 - A CacheWriter to register

registerDynamicAttributesExtractor

public 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

Specified by:

registerDynamicAttributesExtractor in interface Ehcache

unregisterCacheWriter

public 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.

Specified by:

unregisterCacheWriter in interface Ehcache

getRegisteredCacheWriter

public CacheWriter getRegisteredCacheWriter()

Retrieves the CacheWriter that was registered for this cache.

Specified by:

getRegisteredCacheWriter in interface Ehcache

Returns:

the registered CacheWriter; or null if none was registered before

getWithLoader

public Element getWithLoader(Object arg0,
                             CacheLoader arg1,
                             Object arg2)
                      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.

Specified by:

getWithLoader in interface Ehcache

Parameters:

arg0 - key whose associated value is to be returned.

arg1 - the override loader to use. If null, the cache's default loader will be used

arg2 - an argument to pass to the CacheLoader.

Returns:

an element if it existed or could be loaded, otherwise null

Throws:

CacheException

getAllWithLoader

public Map getAllWithLoader(Collection arg0,
                            Object arg1)
                     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

Specified by:

getAllWithLoader in interface Ehcache

Parameters:

arg0 - a collection of keys to be returned/loaded

arg1 - an argument to pass to the CacheLoader.

Returns:

a Map populated from the Cache. If there are no elements, an empty Map is returned.

getSize

public 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 Ehcache.getKeysWithExpiryCheck().size(), although see that method for the approximate time that would take.

To get a very fast result, use Ehcache.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.

Specified by:

getSize in interface Ehcache

Returns:

The size value

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the cache is not Status.STATUS_ALIVE

CacheException

removeElement

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.

Specified by:

true if the value was removed

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the element is null, or has a null key
