Overview

If you use your own classpath:settings4j.xml, then you can enable caching for your Connectors and ObjectResolvers (only which extents AbstractObjectResolver).

This is especially useful to make sure that an Object-Value from an ObjectResolver should always be the same instants (singleton).

At the Moment (Release 1.0-beta5) there is no way to clear the cache. For clearing the cache, you must restart your application.

Example

For enable caching simply add the "cached" Attribute to your Connector or ObjectResolver

<settings4j:configuration xmlns:settings4j='http://settings4j.org/'>

  <connector name="FSConnector" class="org.settings4j.connector.FSConnector" cached="true">
    <param name="rootFolderPath" value="target/test/Settings4jUnittest" />
    <contentResolver-ref ref="ClasspathContentResolver" />
    <objectResolver-ref ref="JavaXMLBeansObjectResolver" />
  </connector>

  <connector name="ClasspathConnector" class="org.settings4j.connector.ClasspathConnector" />

  <contentResolver name="ClasspathContentResolver" class="org.settings4j.contentresolver.ClasspathContentResolver">
  </contentResolver>

  <objectResolver name="JavaXMLBeansObjectResolver" class="org.settings4j.objectresolver.JavaXMLBeansObjectResolver" cached="true">
  </objectResolver>
</settings4j:configuration>
