Detailed Description

Cache are obtained from create method on the CacheFactory#create class.

When a cache will no longer be used, it should be closed. Once it is closed any attempt to use it will cause a CacheClosedException to be thrown.

A cache can have multiple root regions, each with a different name.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void gemfire::Cache::close ( )
virtual

Terminates this object cache and releases all the local resources.

After this cache is closed, any further method call on this cache or any region object will throw CacheClosedException, unless otherwise noted. If Cache instance created from Pool(pool is in multiuser mode), then it reset user related security data.

Exceptions
CacheClosedException,ifthe cache is already closed.

Implements gemfire::RegionService.

virtual void gemfire::Cache::close ( bool  keepalive)
virtual

Terminates this object cache and releases all the local resources.

After this cache is closed, any further method call on this cache or any region object will throw CacheClosedException, unless otherwise noted. If Cache instance created from Pool(pool is in multiuser mode), then it reset user related security data.

Parameters
keepalivewhether to keep a durable client's queue alive
Exceptions
CacheClosedException,ifthe cache is already closed.
virtual RegionServicePtr gemfire::Cache::createAuthenticatedView ( PropertiesPtr  userSecurityProperties,
const char *  poolName = NULL 
)
virtual

Creates an authenticated cache using the given user security properties.

Multiple instances with different user properties can be created with a single client cache.

Application must use this instance to do operations, when multiuser-authentication is set to true.

See also
RegionService
PoolFactory::setMultiuserAuthentication(boolean)
Returns
the RegionService instance associated with a user and given properties.
Exceptions
UnsupportedOperationExceptionwhen invoked with multiuser-authentication as false.
Parameters
userSecurityPropertiesthe security properties of a user.
poolNamethe pool that the users should be authenticated against. Set if there are more than one Pool in Cache.
virtual PdxInstanceFactoryPtr gemfire::Cache::createPdxInstanceFactory ( const char *  className)
virtual

Returns a factory that can create a PdxInstance.

Parameters
classNamethe fully qualified class name that the PdxInstance will become when it is fully deserialized.
Exceptions
IllegalStateExceptionif the className is NULL or invalid.
Returns
the factory

Implements gemfire::RegionService.

virtual RegionPtr gemfire::Cache::createRegion ( const char *  name,
const RegionAttributesPtr aRegionAttributes 
)
virtual

Returns a region created using the specified RegionAttributes.

The region is just created locally. It is not created on the server to which this client is connected with.

If Pool attached with Region is in multiusersecure mode then don't use return instance of region as no credential are attached with this instance. Get region from AuthenticatedCache to do the operation on Cache.

Parameters
namethe name of the region to create
aRegionAttributesthe attributes of the root region
Returns
pointer to the returned region
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentExceptionif the attributePtr is NULLPTR.
RegionExistsExceptionif a region is already in this cache
CacheClosedExceptionif the cache is closed
OutOfMemoryExceptionif the memory allocation failed
InitFailedExceptionif the PersistenceManagerImpl object fails to initialize
UnsupportedOperationExceptionif the region attributes are not consistent with cache attributes and distributed system properties.
UnknownExceptionotherwise
Deprecated:
as of NativeClient 3.5, use Cache#createRegionFactory instead.
virtual RegionFactoryPtr gemfire::Cache::createRegionFactory ( RegionShortcut  regionShortcut)
virtual

public methods

Returns the RegionFactory to create the region. Before creating the Region, one can set region attributes using this instance.

Parameters
regionShortcutTo create the region specific type,

RegionShortcut
virtual CacheTransactionManagerPtr gemfire::Cache::getCacheTransactionManager ( )
virtual

Get the CacheTransactionManager instance for this Cache.

Returns
The CacheTransactionManager instance.
Exceptions
CacheClosedExceptionif the cache is closed.
virtual DistributedSystemPtr gemfire::Cache::getDistributedSystem ( ) const
virtual

Returns the distributed system that this cache was created with.

Implements gemfire::GemFireCache.

virtual const char* gemfire::Cache::getName ( ) const
virtual

Returns the name of this cache.

Returns
the string name of this cache

Implements gemfire::GemFireCache.

virtual bool gemfire::Cache::getPdxIgnoreUnreadFields ( )
virtual

Returns whether Cache saves unread fields for Pdx types.

Implements gemfire::GemFireCache.

virtual bool gemfire::Cache::getPdxReadSerialized ( )
virtual

Returns whether PdxInstance is preferred for PDX types instead of C++ object.

Implements gemfire::GemFireCache.

virtual QueryServicePtr gemfire::Cache::getQueryService ( )
virtual

Gets the QueryService from which a new Query can be obtained.

Returns
A smart pointer to the QueryService.

Implements gemfire::RegionService.

virtual QueryServicePtr gemfire::Cache::getQueryService ( const char *  poolName)
virtual

Gets the QueryService from which a new Query can be obtained.

Parameters
poolNamePass poolname if pool is created from cache.xml or PoolManager
Returns
A smart pointer to the QueryService.
virtual RegionPtr gemfire::Cache::getRegion ( const char *  path)
virtual

Look up a region with the full path from root.

If Pool attached with Region is in multiusersecure mode then don't use return instance of region as no credential are attached with this instance. Get region from RegionService instance of Cache.

See also
Cache::createAuthenticatedView(PropertiesPtr).
Parameters
paththe region's name, such as AuthRegion.
Returns
region, or NULLPTR if no such region exists.

Implements gemfire::RegionService.

virtual void gemfire::Cache::initializeDeclarativeCache ( const char *  cacheXml)
virtual

Initializes the cache from an xml file.

Parameters
cacheXmlValid cache.xml file

Implements gemfire::GemFireCache.

virtual bool gemfire::Cache::isClosed ( ) const
virtual

Indicates if this cache has been closed.

After a new cache object is created, this method returns false; After the close is called on this cache object, this method returns true.

Returns
true, if this cache is closed; false, otherwise

Implements gemfire::RegionService.

void gemfire::SharedBase::preserveSB ( ) const
inherited

Atomically increment reference count.

virtual void gemfire::Cache::readyForEvents ( )
virtual

Send the "client ready" message to the server from a durable client.

int32_t gemfire::SharedBase::refCount ( )
inlineinherited
Returns
the reference count
void gemfire::SharedBase::releaseSB ( ) const
inherited

Atomically decrement reference count, the SharedBase object is automatically deleted when its reference count goes to zero.

virtual void gemfire::Cache::rootRegions ( VectorOfRegion regions)
virtual

Returns a set of root regions in the cache.

This set is a snapshot and is not backed by the Cache. The vector passed in is cleared and the regions are added to it.

Parameters
regionsthe returned set of regions

Implements gemfire::RegionService.
