Re: [Springframework-developer] EHCache support

[Mike Cannon-B. <mca...@gm...>]

Mate,

I just looked at the code Dmitriy has written, and from my knowledge
of EHCache (incidentally often referred to as Canadian cache in the
office, or just "cache, eh?") it would be completely trivial (ie a 2
minute task :)) to add this?

The EhCacheManagerFactoryBean already does not require an ehcache.xml
file, it will use one if provided with one - otherwise it will just
create a blank CacheManager. So this part works fine.

The only thing to add would be a way to create new caches.=20

In code, this is easy to do:

Cache cache =3D new Cache("MyCache", 1000, true, false, 500, 200);
manager.addCache(cache);

There are only 6 properties for every cache (as above - cache name,
max size, overflow to disk, eternal, time to live and time to idle).
Why not just add these as setters to EhCacheFactoryBean, and have that
create the cache and register it with the referenced CacheManager?

What else would be required?

Cheers,
Mike
