Is there a way to specify a cache instance as "read only"? I would like to set up an environment where some processes (where I say process, I mean different JVM) can write to their caches and those changes are distributed to the other caches in the group. Likewise, some processes should not be allowed to write to their caches. These readonly processes basically just want to listen to a live copy of the cached data (by attaching a cache listener). I'd like to prevent the possibility of accidentally having one of these supposedly read-only cache processes write to the cache.
The most obvious solution seems to be for me to make a ReadOnlyCache interface, then attach it to TreeCache (via a thin wrapper or injecting with an aspect or something if that is possible). Once I have the ReadOnlyCache, I can hide away the real cache in a singleton somewhere and just expose the ReadOnlyCache interface to the public. Although it makes it more difficult to screw up and write something to the cache when you don't mean to, it doesn't seem foolproof or elegant. Any suggestions? -steven View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3866817#3866817 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3866817 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
