Class Cache

java.lang.Object
com.inet.report.cache.Cache
public abstract class Cache extends Object
This class implements a cache for rendered data. The typical usage is:


 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.put( "report", "report1.rpt" );
 props.put( "prompt0", "abc" );

 Cache cache = Cache.getCache();
 ReportCacheKey key = cache.getKey(props);
 cache.getPageAndWait( key, 12, 5 * 60 * 1000 );

    • getKey

      public ReportCacheKey getKey(Properties props) throws ReportException
      Create a ReportCacheKey and start rendering if report does not exist in the Cache. The Cache needs the ReportCacheKey to find the report in the Cache. If you are using the default EngineFactory, every property in Properties is used to make the ReportCacheKey. The default EngineFactory needs the parameter "report". To render the report in a special format e.g. "pdf", set the "export_fmt" property. The supported output formats are listed in the class Engine. Internal work:
      • call EngineFactory.getKey(Properties)
      • search whether the key exists in the cache
      • if it does not exist then call EngineFactory.createEngine(Properties) and start rendering
      Parameters:
      props - The default Engine Factory need the parameter "report"
      Returns:
      a unique key for the report
      Throws:
      ReportException - e.g. if the reportfile does not exist

      Throws:
      PageOutOfRangeException - If the page is out of range after the report is finish rendered.
      KeyNotFoundException - If the key does not exist in the cache. This can occur if the key has received its timeout and was removed from the cache. You can change the cache timeout in the Cache Config Dialog.
