Method Detail

registerPeer

void registerPeer(String nodeId)
Register a new peer.

Parameters:
nodeId - Identifies a node in this replication scheme (ex: RMI URL)

unregisterPeer

void unregisterPeer(String nodeId)
Unregisters a peer.

Parameters:
nodeId - Identifies a node in this replication scheme (ex: RMI URL)

listRemoteCachePeers

List listRemoteCachePeers(Ehcache cache)
                          throws CacheException
Returns:
a list of CachePeer peers for the given cache, excluding the local peer.
Throws:
CacheException

init

void init()
Notifies providers to initialise themselves.

Throws:
CacheException

dispose

void dispose()
             throws CacheException
Providers may be doing all sorts of exotic things and need to be able to clean up on dispose.

Throws:
CacheException

getTimeForClusterToForm

long getTimeForClusterToForm()
Time for a cluster to form. This varies considerably, depending on the implementation.

Returns:
the time in ms, for a cluster to form

getScheme

String getScheme()
The replication scheme. Each peer provider has a scheme name, which can be used to specify the scheme for replication and bootstrap purposes. Each CacheReplicator should lookup the provider for its scheme type during replication. Similarly a BootstrapCacheLoader should also look up the provider for its scheme.

Returns:
the well-known scheme name, which is determined by the replication provider author.
Since:
1.6 introduced to permit multiple distribution schemes to be used in the same CacheManager
