Method Detail

createCache

org.alfresco.repo.cache.SimpleCache createCache(java.lang.String cacheName)

Creates a fully distributed cache (when clustering is enabled and active).

Parameters:

cacheName -

Returns:

SimpleCache

createLocalCache

org.alfresco.repo.cache.SimpleCache createLocalCache(java.lang.String cacheName)

Creates a "local" cache, i.e. one that exists only on the JVM that created it. It does not attempt to replicate any data, send invalidation messages etc. and is intended for use only where the data does not need to be shared and where remote operations should be avoided for performance reasons.

Parameters:

cacheName -

Returns:

SimpleCache

createInvalidateRemovalCache

org.alfresco.repo.cache.SimpleCache createInvalidateRemovalCache(java.lang.String cacheName)

Creates a local (as opposed to fully-distributed) cache that broadcasts invalidation messages to its peers on other cluster members upon cache item removal. Its peers then remove the corresponding cache item.

This cache does not replicate put(k,v) invocations.

Parameters:

cacheName -

Returns:

SimpleCache
