Class EhCacheFactoryBean

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<net.sf.ehcache.Ehcache>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

    public class EhCacheFactoryBean
    extends Object
    implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<net.sf.ehcache.Ehcache>, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean
    A Spring FactoryBean for programmatically creating an EhCache Cache with standard configuration options, but also progrmattic Terracotta configuration. A special note about Terracotta config. While you can create all your Terracotta-enabled caches programatically using this FactoryBean, you need to have at least one Terracotta-enabled cache created the old fashioned way (through an ehcache.xml resource config) so that the CacheManager will properly enable Terracotta support.

      • setCacheManager

        public void setCacheManager​(net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager cacheManager)
        Set a CacheManager from which to retrieve a named Cache instance. By default, CacheManager.getInstance() will be called.

        Note that in particular for persistent caches, it is advisable to properly handle the shutdown of the CacheManager: Set up a separate EhCacheManagerFactoryBean and pass a reference to this bean property.

        A separate EhCacheManagerFactoryBean is also necessary for loading EHCache configuration from a non-default config location.

      • setCacheName

        public void setCacheName​(String cacheName)
        Set a name for which to retrieve or create a cache instance. Default is the bean name of this EhCacheFactoryBean.
      • setMaxElementsInMemory

        public void setMaxElementsInMemory​(int maxElementsInMemory)
        Specify the maximum number of cached objects in memory. Default is 10000 elements.
      • setMaxElementsOnDisk

        public void setMaxElementsOnDisk​(int maxElementsOnDisk)
        Specify the maximum number of cached objects on disk. Default is 10000000 elements.
      • setMemoryStoreEvictionPolicy

        public void setMemoryStoreEvictionPolicy​(net.sf.ehcache.store.MemoryStoreEvictionPolicy memoryStoreEvictionPolicy)
        Set the memory style eviction policy for this cache. Supported values are "LRU", "LFU" and "FIFO", according to the constants defined in EHCache's MemoryStoreEvictionPolicy class. Default is "LRU".
      • setOverflowToDisk

        public void setOverflowToDisk​(boolean overflowToDisk)
        Set whether elements can overflow to disk when the in-memory cache has reached the maximum size limit. Default is "true".
      • setEternal

        public void setEternal​(boolean eternal)
        Set whether elements are considered as eternal. If "true", timeouts are ignored and the element is never expired. Default is "false".
      • setTimeToLive

        public void setTimeToLive​(int timeToLive)
        Set t he time in seconds to live for an element before it expires, i.e. the maximum time between creation time and when an element expires. It is only used if the element is not eternal. Default is 300 seconds.
      • setTimeToIdle

        public void setTimeToIdle​(int timeToIdle)
        Set the time in seconds to idle for an element before it expires, that is, the maximum amount of time between accesses before an element expires. This is only used if the element is not eternal. Default is 120 seconds.
      • setDiskPersistent

        public void setDiskPersistent​(boolean diskPersistent)
        Set whether the disk store persists between restarts of the Virtual Machine. The default is "false".

        public void setDiskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds​(int diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds)
        Set the number of seconds between runs of the disk expiry thread. The default is 300 seconds.

      • setCacheEntryFactory

        public void setCacheEntryFactory​(net.sf.ehcache.constructs.blocking.CacheEntryFactory cacheEntryFactory)
        Set an EHCache CacheEntryFactory to use for a self-populating cache. If such a factory is specified, the cache will be decorated with EHCache's SelfPopulatingCache.

        The specified factory can be of type UpdatingCacheEntryFactory, which will lead to the use of an UpdatingSelfPopulatingCache.

        Note: Any such self-populating cache is automatically a blocking cache.
