So you are saying that specifying default attributes in the cache.ccf does not affect the configuration of any of the regions? If this is the case, then I think there is a definite need for this patch.
-----Original Message----- From: Todd Carmichael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 1:38 PM To: 'Turbine JCS Developers List' Subject: Changing behavior of jcs.default.elementattributes I have been debugging and trying to get the lateral cache to work and I have a documentation bug and implementation question (possibly a bug) that I would like the team to consider. 1. In the documentation on how to setup the properties for a lateral cache, the following string is used to identify the class implementing the lateral cache: jcs.auxiliary.LTCP=org.apache.stratum.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.LateralCache Fact ory jcs.auxiliary.LTCP.attributes=org.apache.stratum.jcs.auxiliary.lateral.L ater alCacheAttributes .stratum should be removed. This applies to all the documentation on the property files. 2. In the property file for the Basic Web example, the cache.ccf file has entries for element attributes like such: jcs.default.elementattributes.IsEternal=false jcs.default.elementattributes.MaxLifeSeconds=3600 jcs.default.elementattributes.IdleTime=1800 jcs.default.elementattributes.IsSpool=true jcs.default.elementattributes.IsRemote=true jcs.default.elementattributes.IsLateral=true Are these intended to be default values for elementattributes all the regions? If so, it doesn't work that way. Each region gets the default values for element attributes specified by the initialization values for the property in the ElementAttributesClass. It could work that way if the method parseElementAttributes in the class org.apache.jcs.engine.control.CompositeCacheConfigurator was changed to be the following: protected IElementAttributes parseElementAttributes( Properties props, String regName, String regionPrefix ) { IElementAttributes eAttr; String attrName = regionPrefix + regName + this.ELEMENT_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX; // auxFactory was not previously initialized. //String prefix = regionPrefix + regName + ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX; IElementAttributes eAttr2 = ccMgr.getDefaultElementAttributes(); eAttr = eAttr2.copy(); PropertySetter.setProperties( eAttr, props, attrName + "." ); Then, each region would get default values and could override defaults by specifying a new value in their region. Consider the above a patch if someone wants it.
