All Known Implementing Classes:

CacheMarshallerImpl, NoOpCacheMarshaller

public interface CacheMarshaller

Responsible for marshalling and unmarshalling objects between memory and durable cache.

Since:

1.1.0

Nested Class Summary

static interface

CacheMarshaller.ValidationPolicy Validation policies are responsible for computing whether or not a cached data structure is valid for the current context.

Method Summary

String	getId() The id that this marshaller is responsible for.
Object	load() Load and return an instance of the type handled by this marshaller.
void	setId(String id) The id that this marshaller is responsible for.
void	setValidationPolicy(String policy) The CacheMarshaller.ValidationPolicy that this marshaller should use.
void	store(Object o) Store o into the cache.

Method Detail

load

Object load()

Load and return an instance of the type handled by this marshaller. If the type implements Configurable, then this method will invoke Configurable.setConfiguration(org.apache.openjpa.lib.conf.Configuration), Configurable.startConfiguration(), and Configurable.endConfiguration() on the instance before returning.

store

void store(Object o)

Store o into the cache.

setId

void setId(String id)

The id that this marshaller is responsible for. A value for this parameter is required.

getId

String getId()

The id that this marshaller is responsible for.

setValidationPolicy

void setValidationPolicy(String policy)
                         throws InstantiationException,
                                IllegalAccessException

The CacheMarshaller.ValidationPolicy that this marshaller should use. A value for this parameter is required. The class will be instantiated via the Configurations mechanism, ensuring that if the class implements Configurable or GenericConfigurable, it will be taken through the appropriate lifecycle.

Throws:

InstantiationException

IllegalAccessException
