Class CachingInterceptor

java.lang.Object
  org.kuali.rice.kew.util.CachingInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.aopalliance.aop.Advice, org.aopalliance.intercept.Interceptor, org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInterceptor

public class CachingInterceptor
extends Object
implements org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInterceptor

This is a generic caching proxy for KEW, using the cache administrator service to store results. It's inteded for caching query results for a DAO, but it likely has broader use.

It will cache the results of calls matching method names which are set in setCacheForMethods(java.lang.String[]). It will clear this "cache group" for calls with matching method names set in setClearCacheOnMethods(java.lang.String[]).

The cache group name (see setCacheGroupName(String)) in most instances should unique for each class that is proxied.

Configuration should be done through Spring, probably using BeanNameAutoProxyCreator.

NOTE: One important assumption here is that the arguments for the methods being cached will all have Object.toString() implementations such that o1.equals(o2) iff o1.toString().equals(o2.toString()).

invoke

public Object invoke(org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation invocation)
              throws Throwable

This overridden method intercepts calls, and

• if the intercepted method is in clearCacheOnMethods
  • the cache is purged, then the method is called and any results returned.
• if the intercepted method is in cacheForMethods
  • the cache is checked. On a hit, cached results are returned. On a miss, the invocation occurrs and the results are cached.
• otherwise
  • the method is called and any results returned
