Method Detail

clear

void clear()

Clears the current cache. This should be used before a re-#sync(String, String)) occurs.

contains

boolean contains(String productName)

Parameters:

productName - The name of the Product to check for in the Cache.

Returns:

True if the Product is foudn in the Cache, False, otherwise.

setFileManager

void setFileManager(URL fmUrl)

Specifies the URL to the File Manager to connect this Cache to.

Parameters:

fmUrl - The URL of the File Manager to cache Products from.

size

int size()

Returns:

The size of the current Product cache.

sync

void sync(List<String> uniqueElementProductTypeNames)
          throws CacheException

Synchronizes this Cache with the File Manager specified by the setFileManager(URL) method.

Parameters:

uniqueElementProductTypeNames - The List ProductTypes to cache Products from.

Throws:

CacheException - If there is any error.

sync

void sync(String uniqueElementName,
          List<String> uniqueElementProductTypeNames)
          throws CacheException

Synchronizes this Cache with the File Manager specified by the setFileManager(URL) method.

Parameters:

uniqueElementName - The met key identifier to use for determining Product existance (if different than "CAS.ProductName").

uniqueElementProductTypeNames - The List of ProductTypes to cache Products from.

Throws:

CacheException - If there is any error.

sync

void sync()
          throws CacheException

Synchronizes this Cache with the File Manager specified by the setFileManager(URL) method. This method also assumes that the unique element (identified by setUniqueElementName(String) and the List of ProductTypes have also been set appropriate (e.g., by using setUniqueElementProductTypeNames(List).

Throws:

CacheException - If any error occurs.

setUniqueElementProductTypeNames

void setUniqueElementProductTypeNames(List<String> uniqueElementProductTypeNames)

Sets the names of the ProductTypes to cache.

Parameters:

uniqueElementProductTypeNames - A List of java.util.String names of ProductTypes.

setUniqueElementName

void setUniqueElementName(String uniqueElementName)

Sets the name of the met element to use as the identifier of a Product for use in determining whether the Product is in the Cache.

Parameters:

uniqueElementName - The name of the met element used to uniquely identify Products.

getFileManagerUrl

URL getFileManagerUrl()

Gets the URL of the File Manager that this Cache communicates with.

Returns:

The URL of the File Manager that this Cache communicates with.
