Spring descriptor XML file

Use a Spring descriptor XML file to configure and integrate eXtreme Scale with Spring.

In the following sections, each element and attribute of the Spring objectgrid.xsd file is defined. The Spring objectgrid.xsd file is in the ogspring.jar file and the objectgrid namespace com/ibm/ws/objectgrid/spring/namespace. See the Spring objectgrid.xsd file for an example of the descriptor XML schema.

register element

Use the register element to register the default bean factory for the ObjectGrid.
Attributes
id
Specifies the name of the default bean directory for a particular ObjectGrid.
gridname
Specifies the name of the ObjectGrid instance. The value assigned to this attribute must correspond to a valid ObjectGrid configured in the ObjectGrid descriptor file.
<register
(1)	id="register id"
(2)	gridname="ObjectGrid name"
/>

server element

Use the server element to define an eXtreme Scale server, which can host a container, a catalog service, or both.
Attributes
id
Specifies the name of the eXtreme Scale server.
tracespec
Indicates the type of trace and enables trace and trace specification for the server.
tracefile
Provides the path and name of the traceFile to create and use.
statspec
Indicates the statistic specification for the server.
jmxport
Designates the unused port number through which you want to enable JMX/RMI connections. JMX enables monitoring and management from remote systems.
isCatalog
Specifies whether the particular server hosts a catalog service. The default value is false.
name
Specifies the name of the server.
<server
(1)	id="server id"
(2)	tracespec="the server trace specification"
(3)	tracefile="the server trace file"
(4)	statspec="the server statistic specification"
(5)	jmxport="JMX port number"
(6)	isCatalog="true"|”false”
(7)	name="the server name”
/>

catalog element

Use the catalog element to route to container servers in the data grid.
Attributes
host
Specifies the host name of the workstation where the catalog service is running.
port
Specifies the port number paired with the host name to determine the catalog service port which the client can connect to.
<catalog
(1)	host="catalog service host name"
(2)	port="catalog service port number"
/>

container element

Use the container element to store the data itself.
Attributes
objectgridxml
Specifies the path and name of the descriptor XML file to use that specifies characteristics for the ObjectGrid, including maps, locking strategy, and plug-ins.
deploymentxml
Specifies the path and name of the XML file that is used with the descriptor XML to determine partitioning, replication, number of initial containers, and other settings.
server
Specifies the server on which the container is hosted.
<server
(1)	objectgridxml="the objectgrid descriptor XML file"
(2)	deploymentxml ="the objectgrid deployment descriptor XML file "
(3)	server="the server reference "
/>

JPALoader element

Use the JPALoader element to synchronize the ObjectGrid cache with an existing backend data-store when using the ObjectMap API.
Attributes
entityClassName
Enables usage of JPAs such as EntityManager.persist and EntityManager.find. The entityClassName attribute is required for the JPALoader.
preloadPartition
Specifies the partition number at which the map preload is started. If the value is less than 0, or greater than (totalNumberOfPartition – 1), the map preload is not started.
<JPALoader
(1)	entityClassName="the entity class name"
(2)	preloadPartition ="int"
/>

JPATxCallback element

Use the JPATxCallback element to coordinate JPA and ObjectGrid transactions.
Attributes
persistenceUnitName
Creates a JPA EntityManagerFactory and locates the JPA entity meta-data in the persistence.xml file. The persistenceUnitName attribute is required.
jpaPropertyFactory
Specifies the factory to create a persistence property map to override the default persistence properties. This attribute should reference a bean.
exceptionMapper
Specifies the ExceptionMapper plug-in that can be used for JPA-specific or database-specific exception mapping functions. This attribute should reference a bean.
<JPATxCallback
(1)	persistenceUnitName="the JPA persistence unit name"
(2)	jpaPropertyFactory ="JPAPropertyFactory bean reference"
(3)	exceptionMapper="ExceptionMapper bean reference"
/>

JPAEntityLoader element

Use the JPAEntityLoader element to synchronize the ObjectGrid cache with an existing backend data-store when using the EntityManager API.
Attributes
entityClassName
Enables usage of JPAs such as EntityManager.persist and EntityManager.find. The entityClassName attribute is optional for the JPAEntityLoader element. If the element is not configured, the entity class configured in the ObjectGrid entity map is used. The same class must be used for the ObjectGrid EntityManager and for the JPA provider.
preloadPartition
Specifies the partition number at which the map preload is started. If the value is less than 0, or greater than (totalNumberOfPartition – 1) the map preload is not launched.
<JPAEntityLoader
(1)	entityClassName="the entity class name"
(2)	preloadPartition ="int"
/>

LRUEvictor element

Use the LRUEvictor element to decide which entries to evict when a map exceeds its maximum number of entries.
Attributes
maxSize
Specifies the total entries in a queue until the evictor must intervene.
sleepTime
Sets the time in seconds between an evictor's sweep over map queues to determine any necessary actions on the map.
numberOfLRUQueues
Specifies the setting of how many queues the evictor must scan to avoid having a single queue that is the size of the entire map.
<LRUEvictor
(1)	maxSize="int"
(2)	sleepTime ="seconds"
(3)	numberOfLRUQueues ="int"
/>

LFUEvictor element

Use the LFUEvictor element to determine which entries to evict when a map exceeds its maximum number of entries.
Attributes
maxSize
Specifies the total entries that are allowed in each heap until the evictor must act.
sleepTime
Sets the time in seconds between an evictor's sweeps over map heaps to determine any necessary actions on the map.
numberOfHeaps
Specifies the setting of how many heaps the evictor must scan to avoid having a single heap that is the size of the entire map.
<LFUEvictor
(1)	maxSize="int"
(2)	sleepTime ="seconds"
(3)	numberOfHeaps ="int"

HashIndex element

Use the HashIndex element with Java™ reflection to dynamically introspect objects stored in a map when the objects are updated.
Attributes
name
Specifies the name of the index, which must be unique for each map.
attributeName
Specifies the name of the attribute to index. For field-access indexes, the attribute name is equivalent to the field name. For property-access indexes, the attribute name is the JavaBean-compatible property name.
rangeIndex
Indicates whether range indexing is enabled. The default value is false.
fieldAccessAttribute
Used for non-entity maps. The getter method is used to access the data. The default value is false. If you specify the value as true, the object is accessed using the fields directly.
POJOKeyIndex
Used for non-entity maps. The default value is false. If you specify the value as true, the index introspects the object in the key part of the map, which is useful when the key is a composite key and the value does not have the key embedded within it. If you do not set the value or you specify the value as false, the index introspects the object in the value part of the map.
<HashIndex
(1)	name="index name"
(2)	attributeName="attribute name"
(3)	rangeIndex ="true"|"false"
(4)	fieldAccessAttribute ="true"|"false"

(5)	POJOKeyIndex ="true"|"false"
