Class SpringNamespaceHandler

java.lang.Object

com.tangosol.config.xml.AbstractNamespaceHandler

com.oracle.coherence.spring.SpringNamespaceHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.tangosol.config.xml.NamespaceHandler

public class SpringNamespaceHandler
extends com.tangosol.config.xml.AbstractNamespaceHandler

The SpringNamespaceHandler provides the ability to reference Spring beans in a cache configuration file. In cases where a cache configuration needs to specify an externally provided user class via a <class-scheme> or <instance> element, this namespace handler can provide a Spring bean from a BeanFactory.

In order to use this handler in a cache configuration file, the handler must be declared. This is done via the following declaration:

 xmlns:spring="class://com.oracle.coherence.spring.SpringNamespaceHandler"
 

To guard against invalid configuration, the XSD (coherence-spring-config.xsd) that corresponds to this namespace handler can also be referenced.

Here is a complete example:

 <cache-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-cache-config"
   xmlns:spring="class://com.oracle.coherence.spring.SpringNamespaceHandler"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-cache-config coherence-cache-config.xsd
   class://com.oracle.coherence.spring.SpringNamespaceHandler coherence-spring-config.xsd">
 

To specify a bean, use the <bean> and <bean-name> elements under <class-scheme> or <instance> elements:

 <class-scheme>
   <spring:bean>
     <spring:bean-name>listener</spring:bean-name>
   </spring:bean>
 </class-scheme>
 

Cache configuration properties (including cache configuration macros) can be injected into a bean using two possible mechanisms: push or pull. The push mechanism allows the runtime macro value to be injected into the bean by this NamespaceHandler such as:

 <spring:bean>
   <spring:bean-name>listener</spring:bean-name>
   <spring:property name="backingMapManagerContext">{manager-context}</spring:property>
 </spring:bean>
 

The pull mechanism allows for cache configuration properties to be referenced in the Spring application context file such as:

 <bean id="listener" class="foo.BML" lazy-init="true">
   <property name="backingMapManagerContext" value="#{manager-context}"/>
 </bean>
 

A bean factory that will provide the Spring beans can be specified in two ways:

1. Specify an application context in the cache configuration file:

 <spring:bean-factory>
   <spring:application-context-uri>application-context.xml</spring:application-context-uri>
 </spring:bean-factory>
 

Similar to a cache configuration file, the application context file will be loaded either via the file system or the classpath. URLs are supported.

2. Specify a bean factory as a resource:

A Spring bean factory can be manually registered as a resource in the following manner:

 ConfigurableCacheFactory factory = CacheFactory.getCacheFactoryBuilder().
         getConfigurableCacheFactory(...);

 factory.getResourceRegistry().registerResource(BeanFactory.class,  // type
         factoryName,                                               // resource name
         factory,                                                   // factory reference
         null);                                                     // optional ResourceLifecycleObserver
 

If a resource name other than the fully-qualified-class-name of the BeanFactory is specified, that name can be referenced in the bean element:

 <spring:bean>
   <spring:factory-name>custom-factory</spring:factory-name>
   <spring:bean-name>listener</spring:bean-name>
 </spring:bean>
