Class EhCacheManagerFactoryBean

      • setAcceptExisting

        public void setAcceptExisting​(boolean acceptExisting)
        Set whether an existing EhCache CacheManager of the same name will be accepted for this EhCacheManagerFactoryBean setup. Default is "false".

        Typically used in combination with "cacheManagerName" but will simply work with the default CacheManager name if none specified. All references to the same CacheManager name (or the same default) in the same ClassLoader space will share the specified CacheManager then.

        See Also:
        #see #setShared, CacheManager.getCacheManager(String), CacheManager()

      • setShared

        public void setShared​(boolean shared)
        Set whether the EhCache CacheManager should be shared (as a singleton at the ClassLoader level) or independent (typically local within the application). Default is "false", creating an independent local instance.

        NOTE: This feature allows for sharing this EhCacheManagerFactoryBean's CacheManager with any code calling CacheManager.create() in the same ClassLoader space, with no need to agree on a specific CacheManager name. However, it only supports a single EhCacheManagerFactoryBean involved which will control the lifecycle of the underlying CacheManager (in particular, its shutdown).

        This flag overrides "acceptExisting" if both are set, since it indicates the 'stronger' mode of sharing.

      • getObject

        public CacheManager getObject()
        Description copied from interface: FactoryBean
        Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory.

        As with a BeanFactory, this allows support for both the Singleton and Prototype design pattern.

        If this FactoryBean is not fully initialized yet at the time of the call (for example because it is involved in a circular reference), throw a corresponding FactoryBeanNotInitializedException.

        As of Spring 2.0, FactoryBeans are allowed to return null objects. The factory will consider this as normal value to be used; it will not throw a FactoryBeanNotInitializedException in this case anymore. FactoryBean implementations are encouraged to throw FactoryBeanNotInitializedException themselves now, as appropriate.

        Specified by:
        getObject in interface FactoryBean<CacheManager>
        Returns:
        an instance of the bean (can be null)

        FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

      • getObjectType

        public Class<? extends CacheManager> getObjectType()
        Description copied from interface: FactoryBean
        Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance.

        This allows one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

        In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object, this method should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

        This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

        NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

        Specified by:
        getObjectType in interface FactoryBean<CacheManager>
        Returns:
        the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

        ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(java.lang.Class<T>)

      • isSingleton

        public boolean isSingleton()
        Description copied from interface: FactoryBean
        Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will FactoryBean.getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

        NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

        The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

        NOTE: This method returning false does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended SmartFactoryBean interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype() method. Plain FactoryBean implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the isSingleton() implementation returns false.

        Specified by:
        isSingleton in interface FactoryBean<CacheManager>
        Returns:
        whether the exposed object is a singleton
