Page History

This page explains how to cache arbitrary objects in Magnolia. You can cache basically every object. This takes caching well beyond page and page fragment caching.

...

The functionality for caching arbitrary objects is provided by at least two modules.

• Module magnolia-cache-core which defines the cache API.
• A second module which implements the API. Magnolia provides two implementations based on established third-party libraries for the low-level functions.
  • magnolia-cache-ehcache is the default implementation which uses Ehcache.
  • magnolia-cache-ehcache3 is the default implementation which uses Ehcache3.
  • magnolia-cache-memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system which uses Memcached. 

...

This is an example of how to configure a cache using Ehcache 2. Here you will find documentation of all configuration options.

void put(Object key, Object value);
 
void put(Object key, Object value, int timeToLiveInSeconds);

Arguments:

Example:

public class MyClass {
    public Object put(Object key, Object value){
        Cache cache = cacheFactoryProvider.get().get().getCache("fooBarCache");
        cache.put(key, value);
        return value;
    }
    public Object put(Object key, Object value, int timeToLiveInSeconds){
        Cache cache = cacheFactoryProvider.get().get().getCache("fooBarCache");
        cache.put(key, value, timeToLiveInSeconds);
        return value;
    }
}
