Loaders facilitate loading of data into the cache. When an application does a lookup for a key in a region and it does not exist, the system checks to see if any loaders are available for the region in the system and invokes them to get the value for the key into the cache. Allows data to be loaded from a 3rd party data source and placed into the region When Region::get is called for a region entry that has a NULLPTR value, the CacheLoader::load method of the region's cache loader is invoked. The load method creates the value for the desired key by performing an operation such as a database query.

| virtual void | close (const RegionPtr &rp) |
| Called when the region containing this callback is destroyed, when the cache is closed. | |

| Loads a value. | |

| virtual void gemfire::CacheLoader::close | ( | const RegionPtr & | rp | ) | [virtual] |
Called when the region containing this callback is destroyed, when the cache is closed.
Implementations should clean up any external resources, such as database connections. Any runtime exceptions this method throws will be logged.
It is possible for this method to be called multiple times on a single callback instance, so implementations must be tolerant of this.
| rp | the region pointer |
| virtual CacheablePtr gemfire::CacheLoader::load | ( | const RegionPtr & | rp, | |
| const CacheableKeyPtr & | key, | |||
| const UserDataPtr & | aCallbackArgument | |||
| ) | [pure virtual] |
Loads a value.
Application writers should implement this method to customize the loading of a value. This method is called by the caching service when the requested value is not in the cache. Any exception thrown by this method is propagated back to and thrown by the invocation of Region::get that triggered this load.
| rp | a Region Pointer for which this is called. | |
| key | the key for the cacheable | |
| helper | any related user data, or NULLPTR |
| void gemfire::SharedBase::preserveSB | ( | ) | const [inherited] |
Atomically increment reference count.
| int32_t gemfire::SharedBase::refCount | ( | ) | [inline, inherited] |
| void gemfire::SharedBase::releaseSB | ( | ) | const [inherited] |
Atomically decrement reference count, the SharedBase object is automatically deleted when its reference count goes to zero.
