E.g., instead - of - <programlisting><mbean code="org.jboss.cache.TreeCache" - name="jboss.cache:service=TreeCache"></programlisting> - you will have: - <programlisting><mbean code="org.jboss.cache.aop.PojoCache" - name="jboss.cache:service=PojoCache"></programlisting> - in the xml configuration file. - </para> - </answer> - </qandaentry> - - <qandaentry> - <question> - <para>Can I pre-compile the aop classes such that I don't need to - use the system classloader and jboss-aop configuration xml? - </para> - </question> - - <answer> - <para>Yes. The latest versions of JBossCache have a pre-compiler - option called - <literal>aopc</literal> - . You can use this option to - pre-compile your "aspectized" POJO. Once the classes have been byte - code generated, they can be treated as regular class files, i.e., - you will not need to include any - <literal>jboss-aop.xml</literal> - that specifies the advisable POJO and to specify the JBossAop system - class loader. - </para> - - <para>For an example of how to use - <literal>aopc</literal> - , please - see 1) - <literal>tools</literal> - directory for PojoCacheTasks14.xml - and PojoCacheTasks50.xml.

In - <literal>jboss-aop.xml</literal> - , you can - declare your POJO (e.g., - <literal>Person</literal> - ) to be - "prepared", a JBossAop term to denote that the object will be - "aspectized" by the system.

If there is an object that you don't need the - cache to manage for you, you can leave it out of the declaration. - The cache will treat this object as a "primitive" type.

Do I need to declare them - "prepared"? - </para> - </question> - - <answer> - <para>No. Since the Collection classes such as - <literal>ArrayList</literal> - are java util classes, aop by default - won't instrument these classes. Instead, PojoCache will generate - a dynamic class proxy for the Collection classes (upon the - <literal>putObject</literal> - call is invoked). The proxy will - delegate the operations to a cache interceptor that implements the - actual Collection classes APIs. That is, the system classes won't be - invoked when used in PojoCache. - </para> - - <para>Internally, the cache interceptor implements the APIs by - direct interaction with respect to the underlying cache store. Note - that this can have implications in performance for certain APIs. For - example, both - <literal>ArrayList</literal> - and - <literal>LinkedList</literal> - will have the same implementation. - Plan is currently underway to optimize these APIs. - </para> - </answer> - </qandaentry> - - <qandaentry> - <question> - <para>How do I use - <literal>List</literal> - , - <literal>Set</literal> - , - and - <literal>Map</literal> - dynamic proxy? - </para> - </question> - - <answer> - <para>PojoCache supports classes extending from - <literal>List</literal> - , - <literal>Set</literal> - , and - <literal>Map</literal> - without users to declare them "aspectized". - It is done via a dynamic proxy.

That is, when you ask the Cache - to manage it, the Cache will dynamically swap out the regular - Collection references with the dynamic proxy ones. As a result, it - is transparent to the users. - </para> - </answer> - </qandaentry> - - <qandaentry> - <question> - <para>What happens when my "aspectized" POJO has field members that - are of Collection class ? - </para> - </question> - - <answer> - <para>When a user puts a POJO into the cache through the call - <literal>putObject</literal> - , it will recursively map the field - members into the cache store as well. When the field member is of a - Collection class (e.g., List, Set, or Map), PojoCache will first - map the collection into cache. Then, it will swap out dynamically - the field reference with an corresponding proxy reference. - </para> - - <para>This is necessary so that an internal update on the field - member will be intercepted by the cache. - </para> - </answer> - </qandaentry> - - - <qandaentry> - <question> - <para>What are the limitation of Collection classes in PojoCache?</para> - </question> - - <answer> - <para>Use of Collection class in PojoCache helps you to track fine-grained changes - in your collection fields automatically. However, current implementation has the follow - limitation that we plan to address soon. - </para> - <para>Currently, we only support a limited implementation of Collection classes. That is, - we support APIs in List, Set, and Map. However, since the APIs do not stipulate - of constraints like NULL key or value, it makes mapping of user instance to our proxy tricky. - For example, ArrayList would allow NULL value and some other implementation would not. - The Set interface maps to java.util.HashSet implementation. The List interface maps - to java.util.ArrayList implementation. The Map interface maps to java.util.HashMap - implementation. - </para> - <para>Another related issue is the expected performance. For example, the current implementation is - ordered, - so - that makes insert/delete from the Collection slow. Performance between Set, Map and List collections - also - vary. - Adding items to a Set is slower than a List or Map, since Set does not allow duplicate entries. - </para> - </answer> - </qandaentry> - - - <qandaentry> - <question> - <para>What are the pros and cons of PojoCache?</para> - </question> - - <answer> - <para>As mentioned in the reference doc, PojoCache has the following advantages:</para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para>Fine-grained replication and/or persistency.

It consists of two subsystems: TreeCache (plain cache) and PojoCache (object-oriented POJO cache). In this tutorial, we will demonstrate the usage of both cache features. For details of the usage and APIs, please refer to the user manuals for <ulink url="http://labs.jboss.org/portal/jbosscache/docs/index.html">TreeCache</ulink> and <ulink url="http://labs.jboss.org/portal/jbosscache/docs/index.html">PojoCache</ulink>. - </para> - <section id="Introduction-Scope"> - <title>Scope</title> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - Cache creation and modification - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Replication - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - PojoCache - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Transaction - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - </section> - - </chapter> - <chapter id="JBossCache_Tutorial-Configuration"> - <title>Configuration</title> - <para> - First download the standalone TreeCache code from <ulink url="http://labs.jboss.org/portal/jbosscache/download/index.html">here</ulink>.

They are located under <literal>tests/org/jboss/cache/aop</literal> directory. <literal>Person</literal> has attributes of <literal>String age, Address addr, List languages </literal> , etc. We will demonstrate that once you put the POJO instance in the cache, plain get/set POJO methods will be intercepted by the cache. - </para> - <para> - Here is the snippet of the class definition for <literal>Person</literal> and <literal>Address</literal> . - </para> -<programlisting>public class Person { - String name=null; - int age=0; - Map hobbies=null; - Address address=null; - Set skills; - List languages; - - public String getName() { return name; } - public void setName(String name) { this.name=name; } - ... - } - -</programlisting> -<programlisting>public class Address { - String street=null; - String city=null; - int zip=0; - - public String getStreet() { return street; } - public void setStreet(String street) { this.street=street; } - ... - } - -</programlisting> - </chapter> - <chapter id="JBossCache_Tutorial-Demo"> - <title>Demo</title> - <para> - To run the demo, you will need at least two windows: one to peruse the cache contents (plus non-aop operations) and the other to operate the cache directly. Of course, you can also open more than one GUI window to see the cache replication at work to multiple members. You will also need to run the scripts under jboss-cache installation directory after you unzip the release package (jboss-cache-dist.zip). Due to the limitation of the GUI, please note that: - </para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - For each demo example, it'd be best if you re-start the whole setup. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - While you can modify the cache content on the GUI window and it will show up on the BSH cache content (e.g., through <literal>cache.printDetails()</literal> ), this won't work on PojoCache demo. That is, you can only modify the cache content on the BSH window. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - <para> - The two demo programs to run are: - </para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - On the first window for the GUI, type <literal>sh build.sh </literal> to see the available commands. To run the GUI, type <literal>sh build.sh run.demo</literal> . It will startup a PojoCache GUI. Later on, you can click on a node to view the the contents. Note that you can also add/modify the node contents for non-AOP cache entries. Since the GUI entry only accepts String for now, operation on aop cache from the GUI will not always work (unless it is a String type). - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - On the second window for the interactive Java commands, type sh runShellDemo.sh to fire off the BeanShell interactive command shell (you can use either ^D or ^Z in Windows and Unix to exit afterward). You can then read in the Java code scripts to showcase the cache capabilities (e.g., plain.bsh, aop.bsh, and aopWithTx.bsh). See the following for details. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - </chapter> - <chapter id="JBossCache_Tutorial-Plain_cache"> - <title>Plain cache</title> - <para> - Once you are in the shell, you can either execute the script to populate the cache, or type it in manually by command line. To run the script, type <literal>sourceRelative("plain.bsh");</literal> under the interactive BSH shell. For this to work, you'll need to have your working directory set to the directory in which plain.bsh resides (otherwise give the full pathname of plain.bsh). Basically, the script will create cache entries that will be replicated onto the GUI. (You may have to type show() into the resulting beanshell window yourself) Here are the snippets for the script: - </para> -<programlisting>import org.jboss.cache.*; - show(); // verbose mode for bean shell - TreeCache tree = new TreeCache(); - PropertyConfigurator config = new PropertyConfigurator(); - // configure tree cache. Needs to be in the classpath - config.configure(tree, "META-INF/replSync-service.xml"); - tree.startService(); - // kick start tree cache - tree.put("/a/b/c", "ben", "me"); - // create a cache entry. - // Node "/a/b/c" will be created if it does not yet exist. - -</programlisting> - <para> - You should see in the GUI that a new entry of <literal>/a/b/c</literal> has been created. Click on the node c to see the content. You can modify the contents from the GUI as well. To create another node, for example, you can type in the shell: - </para> -<programlisting>tree.put("/a/b/c/d", "JBoss", "Open Source"); - tree.get("/a/b/c/d", "JBoss"); - -</programlisting> - </chapter> - <chapter id="JBossCache_Tutorial-PojoCache"> - <title>PojoCache</title> - <para> - Once you are in the shell, type <literal>sourceRelative("aop.bsh");</literal> to execute the shell script. Basically, aop.bsh illustrates the steps to instantiate a cache, configure it, and then create entries under it. Here are the snippets: - </para> -<programlisting>import org.jboss.cache.PropertyConfigurator; - import org.jboss.cache.aop.PojoCache; - import org.jboss.cache.aop.test.Person; - import org.jboss.cache.aop.test.Address; - show(); // verbose mode for bean shell - PojoCache tree = new PojoCache(); - PropertyConfigurator config = new PropertyConfigurator(); // configure tree cache. - config.configure(tree, "META-INF/replSync-service.xml"); - Person joe = new Person(); // instantiate a Person object named joe - joe.setName("Joe Black"); - joe.setAge(31); - Address addr = new Address(); // instantiate a Address object named addr - addr.setCity("Sunnyvale"); - addr.setStreet("123 Albert Ave"); - addr.setZip(94086); joe.setAddress(addr); // set the address reference - tree.startService(); // kick start tree cache - tree.putObject("/aop/joe", joe); - // add aop sanctioned object (and sub-objects) into cache. - // since it is aop-sanctioned, use of plain get/set methods will take care - // of cache contents automatically. - joe.setAge(41); - -</programlisting> - <para> - Note the API needed to put the object (and its dependent ones) into cache is putObject. Once the second window finishes execution, you should see the first GUI window has been populated with entries of /aop/joe/address. Click on each tree node will display different values associated with that node. - </para> - <para> - Next step to see AOP in action, you can do plain get/set methods without ever worrying about put it in the cache. For example, you can do in the shell window joe.setAge(20); and see that GUI gets updated with the age field automatically (if not, click away and back will refresh the GUI content). Also to demonstrate the object graph replication, you can modify Joe's address and see the cache will update it automatically.
