| <section name="Basic JCS Configuration"> |
| <p> |
| The following document illustrates several basic JCS |
| configurations. As you'll see, using JCS can be as simple as |
| creating a single memory cache for you application. However, |
| with a few configuration changes, you can quickly enable some |
| distributed caching features that can scale your application |
| even further. |
| </p> |
| <subsection name="Building a cache.ccf file"> |
| <p> |
| Configuring the JCS can be as simple as your needs. The most |
| basic configuration would be a pure memory cache where every |
| region takes the default values. The complete configuration |
| file (cache.ccf) could look like this: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| # DEFAULT CACHE REGION |
| |
| jcs.default= |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes= |
| org.apache.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes.MaxObjects=1000 |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes.MemoryCacheName= |
| org.apache.jcs.engine.memory.lru.LRUMemoryCache |
| ]]></source> |
| <p> |
| If you want to add memory shrinking then you can add these |
| lines: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes.cacheattributes.UseMemoryShrinker=true |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes.cacheattributes.MaxMemoryIdleTimeSeconds=3600 |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes.cacheattributes.ShrinkerIntervalSeconds=60 |
| jcs.default.cacheattributes.MaxSpoolPerRun=500 |
| jcs.default.elementattributes=org.apache.jcs.engine.ElementAttributes |
| jcs.default.elementattributes.IsEternal=false |
| ]]></source> |
| <p> |
| Adding a <a href="IndexedDiskAuxCache.html">disk cache</a> is |
| as simple as telling it what folder to use. It is recommended |
| that you add a disk cache. If you want to add a disk cache to |
| your default parameters, then (1) add this to the bottom of |
| the file to create the auxiliary: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| jcs.auxiliary.DC= |
| org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.disk.indexed.IndexedDiskCacheFactory |
| jcs.auxiliary.DC.attributes= |
| org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.disk.indexed.IndexedDiskCacheAttributes |
| jcs.auxiliary.DC.attributes.DiskPath=g:/dev/jcs/raf |
| ]]></source> |
| <p> |
| and (2) change the first line to: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| jcs.default=DC |
| ]]></source> |
| <p> |
| If you want to predefine a specific region, say called |
| <code>testCache1</code>, then add these lines: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| jcs.region.testCache1=DC |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes= |
| org.apache.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MaxObjects=1000 |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MemoryCacheName= |
| org.apache.jcs.engine.memory.lru.LRUMemoryCache |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.UseMemoryShrinker=true |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MaxMemoryIdleTimeSeconds=3600 |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.ShrinkerIntervalSeconds=60 |
| jcs.region.testCache1.cacheattributes.MaxSpoolPerRun=500 |
| jcs.region.testCache1.elementattributes=org.apache.jcs.engine.ElementAttributes |
| jcs.region.testCache1.elementattributes.IsEternal=false |
| |
| ]]></source> |
| <p> |
| If you want to add a lateral cache for distribution (the <a |
| href="LateralTCPAuxCache.html">TCP Lateral Auxiliary</a> is |
| recommended), then add these lines to the bottom of the file |
| to define the auxiliary: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| jcs.auxiliary.LTCP= |
| org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.LateralCacheFactory |
| jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes= |
| org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.LateralCacheAttributes |
| jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TransmissionTypeName=TCP |
| jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TcpServers=localhost:1111 |
| jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.TcpListenerPort=1110 |
| jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes.PutOnlyMode=false |
| ]]></source> |
| <p> |
| See the TCP Lateral documentation for more information. If you |
| want to set up <code>testCache1</code> to use this, then change |
| the definition to: |
| </p> |
| <source><![CDATA[ |
| jcs.region.testCache1=DC,LTCP |
| ]]></source> |
| </subsection> |
| <subsection name="A few comments on configuration"> |
| <p> |
| Auxiliary definitions are like log4j appenders, they are defines |
| and then associated with a region like a log4j category. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The order of configuration file is unimportant, though you |
| should try to keep it organized for your own sake. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Configuration is being refactored and is subject to change. It |
| should only become easier. |
| </p> |
