How to bridge ehcache 2.x with kaleido?

[kaleidoUser01]

Hi Team,

I was trying to bridge ehcache with kaleido but was not clear about the implementation. After going through the kaleido core API, I realized that I have to use 

 EhCacheImpl and EhCacheManagerImpl but how?

After going through the CacheManagerExample    , I tried the following

I have 

 in src/java/main/resources/cacheConfig.properties with the following contents

# cache provider code, and cache configuration file uri
cacheManagers.myCacheManager.providerCode=ehCache
cacheManagers.myCacheManager.fileStoreUri=classpath:/src/java/main/resources/ehcache.xml

ehcache.xml holds the ehcache specifig configuration.

Now, how to use EhCacheImpl and EhCacheManagerImpl to get the cache object. So that I can write something like below

public CacheManagerSample01() {

        myCache = myCacheManager.getCache(YourBean.class);

        // feed cache with some bean entries
        myCache.put("bean1", new YourBean("name1", GregorianCalendar.getInstance(), true, 2));
        myCache.put("bean2", new YourBean("name2", GregorianCalendar.getInstance(), false, 15));
   }

   /**
    * method example that use the injected cache
    */
   public void echo() {
        System.out.printf("cache name: %s\n", myCache.getName());
        System.out.printf("cache size: %s\n", myCache.size());
        System.out.printf("cache entry[%s]: %s\n", "bean1", myCache.get("bean1").toString());
        System.out.printf("cache entry[%s]: %s\n", "bean2", myCache.get("bean2").toString());
   }

Please help me.

# cache provider code, and cache configuration file uri

cacheManagers.myCacheManager.providerCode=ehCache

cacheManagers.myCacheManager.fileStoreUri=classpath:/ehcache.xml

Should be better

That's the parameter ...providerCode=ehCache which bind the cache implementation to EhCacheManagerImpl / EhCacheImpl

So, you didn't have to use or declare EhCacheManagerImpl directly... , you should use the kaleido interface CacheManager and Cache<...>

The available provider code are here : http://code.google.com/p/kaleido-foundry/wiki/CacheManagerExample#@Context_parameters

You can also checkout some examples from the project kaleido-integration-test/kaleido-it-core 

There are some tests around the cache feature in the classes:  CacheManagerSample01 02 ...

Also have a look to the pom.xml

I'm preparing a simple sample project to start, with all the wiki examples.
