Chapter 8. Appendix

8.1. Example POJO

The example POJO classes used for are: Person, Student, and Address. Below are their definition (note that neither class implements Serializable ) along with the annotation.

@org.jboss.cache.pojo.annotation.Replicable
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; }

   public int getAge() { return age; }
   public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; }

   public Map getHobbies() { return hobbies; }
   public void setHobbies(Map hobbies) { this.hobbies = hobbies; }

   public Address getAddress() { return address; }
   public void setAddress(Address address) { this.address = address; }

   public Set getSkills() { return skills; }
   public void setSkills(Set skills) { this.skills = skills; }

   public List getLanguages() { return languages; }
   public void setLanguages(List languages) { this.languages = languages; }
}
public class Student extends Person {
   String year=null;

   public String getYear() { return year; }
   public void setYear(String year) { this.year=year; }
}
   @org.jboss.cache.pojo.annotation.Replicable
   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; }
   ...
}

8.2. Sample Cache configuration xml

Below is a sample xml configuration for Cache that you can use for PojoCache creation.

8.3. PojoCache configuration xml

Attached is a full listing for pojocache-aop.xml.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!--
       This is the PojoCache configuration file that specifies:
         1. Interceptor stack for API
         2. Annotation binding for POJO (via "prepare" element)

       Basically, this is a variant of jboss-aop.xml. Note that
       except for the customization of interceptor stack, you should
       not need to modify this file.

       To run PojoCache, you will need to define a system property:
       jboss.aop.path that contains the path to this file such that JBoss Aop
       can locate it.
