    username and session caching

    anwar83

      Hi, for your information, I've done a very simple/basic caching using jbosscache about 5 months ago and left it since then. In what have been done, I'm accessing a jbosscache(Mbean) and put a user session id in it. The article that I'm following is here

      http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/docaching/index-3.html

      What happen is the data is not shared and each user have their own unique session id, which is exactly what I want it to be. I use JbossAS 4.0.4RC2 or 4.0.2 that time and maybe JbossCache 1.3(can't remember well, including the setting).

      However when i tried it now with JbossAS 4.0.5 and Jboss 1.4, It doesn't work anymore. Instead the data that being put into cache will be overrided by a data from a second user. So now a first user will get a second user's session id, not his own.

      The code use to put and get the data from jboss cache is as follow


      
      private Option option = new Option();
      private Fqn fqn =new Fqn("/user/session");
      private Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
      private TreeCacheMBean cache;
      
      private TreeCacheMBean getTreeCacheMBean() {
      
       if (cache == null) {
       try {
       log.info("TreeCacheMBean is null");
      
       cache = (TreeCacheMBean) MBeanProxyExt.create(
       TreeCacheMBean.class,
       "jboss.cache:service=TomcatClusteringCache", server);
      
       } catch (MalformedObjectNameException e) {
       // TODO Auto-generated catch block
       e.printStackTrace();
       }
       }
       return cache;
      }
      
      public void insertSession(String sessionID, String userId) throws Exception {
       option.setCacheModeLocal(true);
       map.put("userId", userId);
       cache = getTreeCacheMBean();
       cache.put(fqn,"sessionId", sessionId, option);
      
       log.info("End input into cache");
      }
      
      
      public String getSession() throws Exception {
       String session = "";
       cache = getTreeCacheMBean();
       option.setCacheModeLocal(true);
       session = (String) cache.get(fqn,"sessionId",option);
       return session;
      }
      


      I try to search in forum and found this

      http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=86054

      which is very-very similar with what I want to do. The question that puzzling me is can jboss cache automatically know who is whom in concurrent access? I means if it is able make a differentiate each user access without the data being overrided by newest insertion. I want to confirm whether my first try is really working or just my mistake in doing testing. If it is able to differentiate a user, then can you point me to configuration that need to be done? I read about locking and concurrency access but not found what i need. Sorry, a newbie here.

      Thanks so much,
      Anwar
