com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client package
The com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client package provides APIs used
for client connectivity and caching.
Most clients will only need to create a
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientCache}
using a
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientCacheFactory}.
A client configures the servers it will connect to by creating one or more
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.Pool pools}.
For most use cases one pool per client is all you need and the easiest
way to get a single pool is to use
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientCacheFactory}.
If you do need more than one pool use a
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.PoolFactory pool factory} obtained from the
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.PoolManager pool manager} before you
create the cache using
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientCacheFactory}.
An alternative to these APIs is to use the pool XML element
as described in the cache6_5.dtd.
If you create more than one pool then for regions that will use a pool you
need to configure the pool name on the regions.
This can be done by setting the
pool name on the region using the
{@link com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.client.ClientRegionFactory#setPoolName API}
or using the pool-name attribute on the region-attributes
as described in the cache6_5.dtd.
Client Declarative Caching
A "caching XML file" declares regions, entries, and attributes. When
a ClientCache is created its contents can be initialized
according to a caching XML file.
The top level element must be a client-cache element.
The Document Type Definition for a declarative cache XML file can
be found in "doc-files/cache6_5.dtd".
For examples of declarative cache XML files see example1.
