Ikai, I am guessing i am wrong somewhere in designing this cache solution. Would appreciate if you can tell me where am i going wrong on this. Let me try to explain it once again.
I have a set of properties which i load on first call to the service. and the code I call in the service is as follows. PropertiesCache _cache = PropertiesCache.getInstance(); My PropertiesCache is as follows. ------------------------------------------------------------------- public class PropertiesCache { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(PropertiesCache.class.getName()); private static PropertiesCache _instance; private Cache cache; private PropertiesCache() { try { log.info("In the PropertiesCache constructor"); cache = CacheManager.getInstance().getCacheFactory().createCache(Collections.emptyMap()); //Loading the cache from the database. //cache.put(Object, Object); } catch (CacheException e) { log.severe("Error in creating the Loading Cache"); } public static synchronized PropertiesCache getInstance() { if (_instance == null) { _instance = new PropertiesCache(); }else{ log.info("Using existing cache instance and NO NEW Instance is created"); } return _instance; } Also, Let me re-iterate what you said, you are suggesting me not to play around with instance variable instead use the cache variable and is there any way i can fetch the cache variable once the jvm restarts. Appreciate all the efforts. Thanks, Rahul On May 25, 5:08 pm, "Ikai L (Google)" <ika...@google.com> wrote: > The instance itself will be recreated.
