Method Detail

setCacheManager

public void setCacheManager(CacheManager manager)

set the CacheManager for this application

Parameters:

manager - associated with this application

init

public void init(javax.servlet.ServletContext context,
                 java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> props)

initialize this helper

Specified by:

init in interface CacheHelper

Parameters:

context - the web application context this helper belongs to

props - helper properties

getCacheKey

public java.lang.String getCacheKey(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

getCacheKey: generate the key to be used to cache this request

Specified by:

getCacheKey in interface CacheHelper

Parameters:

request - incoming HttpServletRequest

Returns:

key string used to access the cache entry. Key is composed of: servletPath + a concatenation of the field values in the request; all key field names must be found in the appropriate scope.

isCacheable

public boolean isCacheable(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

isCacheable: is the response to given request cachebale?

Specified by:

isCacheable in interface CacheHelper

Parameters:

request - incoming HttpServletRequest object

Returns:

true if the response could be cached. or return false if the results of this request must not be cached. Applies pre-configured cacheability constraints in the cache-mapping; all constraints must pass for this to be cacheable.

isRefreshNeeded

public boolean isRefreshNeeded(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

isRefreshNeeded: is the response to given request be refreshed?

Specified by:

isRefreshNeeded in interface CacheHelper

Parameters:

request - incoming HttpServletRequest object

Returns:

true if the response needs to be refreshed. or return false if the results of this request don't need to be refreshed. XXX: 04/16/02 right now there is no configurability for this in ias-web.xml; should add a refresh-field element there:

getTimeout

public int getTimeout(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

get timeout for the cacheable data in this request

Specified by:

getTimeout in interface CacheHelper

Parameters:

request - incoming HttpServletRequest object

Returns:

either the statically specified value or from the request fields. If not specified, get the timeout defined for the cache element.

destroy

public void destroy()
             throws java.lang.Exception
