Custom CacheLoader configuration help

[earnest.dyke]

Greetings all,

We are in the process of designing a new environment for our customer facing web application. We are planning to use JBoss AS 7 with Infinispan as the data interchange mechanism.

To this end I am trying to develop a custom cacheloader (not a cachestore since the data is read-only) but am having issues with how all of the config stuff works together. Basicly what I am trying to do it use a config file like this:

<namedCache name="MasterCustomerCache">
  <eviction strategy="LIRS" maxEntries="10" />
  <expiration lifespan="60000" maxIdle="60000"/>
  <loaders passivation="false" preload="false" shared="false">
    <loader class="com.my.cacheloader.MasterCustomerCacheLoader" esbUrl="http://localhost:8080/CatB4Login/http/masterCustomer">
    </loader>
  </loader>
</namedCache>

To create a cache entry, I need (I think) to create a MortalCacehEntry but that requires knowing the lifespan. I cannot figure out how to get the lifespan from the XML config file into my cacheloader.

Any all all relevant responses are appreciated.

Earnie!

In the current state of the configuration, it's probably easier if you configure it like this:

<loaders passivation="false" preload="false" shared="false">

   <loader class="com.my.cacheloader.MasterCustomerCacheLoader">

       <properties>

          <property name="esbUrl" value="http://localhost:8080/CatB4Login/http/masterCustomer" />

       </properties>    

   </loader>

</loader>

If you're extending AbstractCacheLoader, you should have a reference to the cache, and via that you can retrieve the configuration and hence, the configured lifespan.

Thanks. I will give this a try.
