Method Detail

getCachedValues

byte[][] getCachedValues(byte[] handle,
                         byte[][] reqTypes,
                         int[] reqIndexes)
                         throws java.lang.Exception

Returns any non-expired handle values that are in the caches storage. A null return value indicates that the requested values aren't in the cache. Returning the an array of values (including an array of zero length) indicates that the returned values are the only values from the requested set (ie the handle doesn't have any more values from the requested set). ***** Speed is important in this method *****

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

setCachedValues

void setCachedValues(byte[] handle,
                     HandleValue[] newValues,
                     byte[][] newTypeList,
                     int[] newIndexList)
                     throws java.lang.Exception

Store the given handle values after a query for the handle. The query was performed with the given type-list and index-list. ***** Speed is less important in this method *****

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

setMaximumHandles

void setMaximumHandles(int maxHandles)

Set the maximum size for the cache by the number of handles.

setMaximumSize

void setMaximumSize(int maxSize)

Set the maximum size for the cache by the number of bytes used for storage.
