@Cache annotation for injecting POJO cache?

kennardconsulting Dec 10, 2009 4:41 PM

Hi guys,

Manik from the JBoss Cache team suggested (http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4270050#4270050) I post this question here.

I've just started using JBoss Cache, and found that you need to use...

CacheManagerLocator.getCacheManagerLocator().getCacheManager( null ).getCache("my-cache")

...to look up the cache from inside a JBoss AS 5 app. Possibly Infinispan has a similar mechanism. It'd be nice if this was injectable instead. For example:

@Cache(name='my-cache')
private Cache<Object, Object> mMyCache;

Are there any plans to support that?

Regards,

Richard.

While this is certainly something a framework should offer (it is, after all, the framework that has access to end-user code, to come across such annotations and inject accordingly), I think Infinispan could make the necessary hooks and helpers available.

@Cache(name='my-cache') private Map<Object, Object> mMyCache;
That would even work with maps, more JSR-107 like.

Mircea,

Yes - that would be terrific. It would really help people looking to migrate standard, Map-based caches to Infinispan caches.

Richard.
