javax.cache
Interface CacheWriter<K,V>

Type Parameters:

K - the type of keys maintained by this map

V - the type of mapped values

public interface CacheWriter<K,V>

A CacheWriter is used for write-through to an underlying resource.

The semantics of write-through when an Exception is thrown are implementation specific.

The transactional semantics of write-through on a transactional cache are implementation specific.

The entry passed into write(javax.cache.Cache.Entry) is independent of the cache mapping for that key meaning that if the value changes in the cache or is removed it does not change the said entry.

Since:

1.0

Method Summary

void	delete(Object key) Delete the cache entry from the store
void	deleteAll(Collection<?> keys) Remove data and keys from the underlying store for the given collection of keys, if present.
void	write(Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry) Write the specified value under the specified key to the underlying store.
void	writeAll(Collection<Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V>> entries) Write the specified entries to the underlying store.

Method Detail

write

void write(Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry)

Write the specified value under the specified key to the underlying store. This method is intended to support both key/value creation and value update for a specific key.

Parameters:

entry - the entry to be written

Throws:

CacheException - if ????? TODO describe when

writeAll

void writeAll(Collection<Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V>> entries)

Write the specified entries to the underlying store. This method is intended to support both insert and update. If this operation fails (by throwing an exception) after a partial success, the convention is that entries which have been written successfully are to be removed from the specified entries, indicating that the write operation for the entries left in the map has failed or has not been attempted.

Parameters:

entries - the entries to be written

Throws:

CacheException - if ????? TODO describe when

delete

void delete(Object key)

Delete the cache entry from the store

Parameters:

key - the key that is used for the delete operation

Throws:

CacheException - if ????? TODO describe when

deleteAll

void deleteAll(Collection<?> keys)

Remove data and keys from the underlying store for the given collection of keys, if present. If this operation fails (by throwing an exception) after a partial success, the convention is that keys which have been erased successfully are to be removed from the specified keys, indicating that the erase operation for the keys left in the collection has failed or has not been attempted.

Expiry of a cache entry is not a delete hence will not cause this method to be invoked.

Parameters:

keys - the keys for entries that have to be removed from the cache

Throws:

CacheException - if ????? TODO describe when
