Ricard Nàcher Roig updated JCS-193:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
I started using JCS cache as a JCache implementation provider a few days ago 
and everything was fine until I needed to set up expiration for cached data or 
even the number of elements stored in the cache. I realized that caches were 
created with EternalPolicy so I started to figure out how to set up both 
implementation specific properties and Standard JCache ones. After a couple of 
days, I don't have a pretty idea about how to configure the caches related to 
methods annotated with JCache annotations like CacheResult, CacheRemove and so 
on.

I mean that I already know that I can use the CacheDefaults annotation, both at 
class and method level, in order to set the name of the cache to be used. but 
another thing is to also set the CacheResolverFactory. Should I always set the 
CacheResolverFactory in the annotation in order to be able to create the cache 
using a specific set of properties? Or maybe the idea is to create the cache 
programmatically before is is needed? Anyway, It seems too much boilerplate to 
me. Maybe I am wrong but I think that we are not using the CDI power at all.

and please, let me know if there is better/simpler approach.

Another thing that I cannot understand is the readConfig method of the 
JCSCachingManager class. It is loading the folder structure because it is 
loading the resources from the default uri of the provider! 

where uri is "jcs://jcache.ccf", so the path is "/". I think that this URI 
should not be used for this, maybe the uri should be something different (URI 
of the default configuration?) or just use another implementation specific 
property. 
{code:java}
 final Enumeration<URL> resources = loader.getResources(uri.getPath());
{code}
 

What about this?

Add CachingProvider and CacheManager as beans if they are not already beans. 
Notice that this is what jcs-jcache-extras module already does! 

So as a developer I can configure my CachingProvider and even the cache manager 
already configured as beans.  They will be injected where needed instead of 
being created without configuration.

no configuration in CacheResolverFactory 
{code:java}
public CacheResolverFactoryImpl()
{
  provider = Caching.getCachingProvider();
  cacheManager = provider.getCacheManager(provider.getDefaultURI(), 
provider.getDefaultClassLoader());
}
{code}
but in JCacheFilter class some properties are set

 
{code:java}
manager = provider.getCacheManager(URI.create(uri), classLoader, properties);
{code}
One step further into CDI should be to also provide the CacheResolverFactory as 
a bean and also the 

CacheResolverFactoryImpl could be also injected with the cacheProvider and 
CacheManager and some CompleteConfigurationResolver of something like that in 
order to avoid creating caches with a hard-coded MutableConfiguration. 
{code:java}
public class CacheResolverFactoryImpl implements CacheResolverFactory
{
...
private Cache<?, ?> createCache(final String exceptionCacheName)
{
  cacheManager.createCache(exceptionCacheName, new   
MutableConfiguration<Object, Object>().setStoreByValue(false));
  return cacheManager.getCache(exceptionCacheName);
}
{code}
 

 with these changes, we reduce boilerplate and give more control to jcs-jcache 
library clients.

 Can we move ExtraJCacheExtension to jcs-jcache in order to be able to handle 
CachingProvider and CacheManager as beans?

best regards,

Ricard
