ContentCache Class

public class ContentCache

    extends Object
    implements HttpSessionBindingListener, Serializable

An object to help with caching content.

This object can placed anywhere for use as a cache. For convience, the getContentCache method can be used with a JSP PageContext to create and utilize ContentCaches.

Additionally, this is what the SelectTag and SelectByIdTag tags use when useCache="true".

Method Detail

bindToSession(ContentCache, HttpSession) Method

public static void bindToSession(ContentCache cache, 
                                 HttpSession session)
Bind a ContentCache into an HttpSession.

This will use DEF_CACHE_NAME as the session attribute name for the cache.

Parameters

cache
the content cache object.
session
the http session.

clear() Method

public synchronized void clear()
Clear the entire cache.

getAttribute(PageContext, String, int) Method

public static Object getAttribute(PageContext ctx, 
                                  String name, 
                                  int scope)
Get a scoped attribute correctly from the JSP page context.

Parameters

ctx
the JSP page context.
name
the attribute name.
scope
the attribute scope (PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE, PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE, PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE).

getCachedTime(String) Method

public synchronized long getCachedTime(String id)
Get the UTC time (in ms.) of when the Content at id was cached.

Parameters

id
the cache id of the content.

Returns

the time, or -1 if id is not a valid cache id.

getCacheIds() Method

public synchronized List getCacheIds()
Get an unordered list of all the cache ids.

Since the keys will all be Strings, this can be sorted with Collections.sort(List).

getCacheSize() Method

public synchronized long getCacheSize()
Get the total number of Content objects cached (across all ids).

getContent(String, long) Method

public synchronized Content[] getContent(String id, 
                                       long timeout)
Check the cache for the content.

Getting content from the cache does not update its time in terms of a timeout. Only using the ContentCache.update(String, Content[]) method to update the cache will do that.

Parameters

id
the cache id of the content.
timeout
the timeout in ms. for the content (less than 0 for no timeout).

Returns

the array of Content, or null if not found or has timed out.

getContentCache(PageContext, int, boolean) Method

public static ContentCache getContentCache(PageContext ctx, 
                                           int scope, 
                                           boolean create)
Get a ContentCache from the specified JSP context.

This will retrieve the ContentCache from the JSP context based upon the specified scope at the attribute named DEF_CACHE_NAME. If that is set and is not a ContentCache, it will be removed.

Parameters

ctx
the JSP page context.
scope
the cache scope (one of PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE, PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE, PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE, or PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE).
create
true to create a ContentCache if it's not there, false to not and return null.

Returns

the cache if it exists or create was true, null if it didn't exist and create was false.

getContentCache(PageContext, String, boolean) Method

public static ContentCache getContentCache(PageContext ctx, 
                                           String scopeStr, 
                                           boolean create)
Get a ContentCache from the specified JSP context.

If scopeStr is "application", then PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE is used; if scopeStr is "page", then PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE is used; if scopeStr is "request", then PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE is used; if scopeStr is "session", then PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE is used; otherwise, scopeStr is passed to ctx.getAttributesScope() which will determine the scope to use.

Parameters

ctx
the JSP page context.
scopeStr
the scope name.
create
true to create a ContentCache if it's not there, false to not and return null.

Returns

the cache if it exists or create was true, null if it didn't exist and create was false.

getFromSession(HttpSession, boolean) Method

                                          boolean create)
Get a ContentCache from an HttpSession.

This will retrieve the cache from the session attribute named DEF_CACHE_NAME. If that is set and is not a ContentCache, it will be removed.

Parameters

session
the http session.
create
true to create a ContentCache if it's not there, false to not and return null.

Returns

the cache if it exists or create was true, null if it didn't exist and create was false.

getNumCacheIds() Method

public synchronized int getNumCacheIds()
Get the number of cache ids in the cache.

getScopeName(int) Method
