I was playing with cache, I managed to make it work, however I could use alternative to ICacheValueResolver way of storing data in cache.

I want to cache data from DB/LDAP, using specific connection (provided at the time of querying cache). At this moment I can provide connection in constructor for ValueResolver, but that is for the lifetime of cache object, so that is super inconvenient...

What I am thinking:
1. outsource problem to connection pooling - one extra connection once a while should be acceptable
2. extend get and resolve methods from ICache and ICacheValueResolver to accommodate connections
3. extend ICache with put method

And now I know what I am going to do. Thank you.
(2 will be very messy and 3 kinda messy, so I will have to stomach 1)

BTW. What withAdditionalCustomWrapper() is for in CacheBuilder class?
Any other tips on Scout caches are also welcomed.

		String cacheId = "mycache";
//		CacheRegistryService crs = new CacheRegistryService();
		CacheRegistryService crs = BEANS.get(CacheRegistryService.class);
		
		ICache<String, String> cache = crs.opt(cacheId);
		
		if (cache != null) {
			LOG.debug("getting keys from cache");
			LOG.debug("key1: {}", cache.get("key1"));
			LOG.debug("key2: {}", cache.get("key2"));
			
		} else {
			LOG.debug("creating cache");
			CacheBuilder<String, String> cb = new CacheBuilder<String, String>();
			cache = cb
					.withCacheId(cacheId)
					.withTimeToLive(Long.valueOf("3600"), TimeUnit.SECONDS, false)
					.withValueResolver(new ValueResolver<String, String>())
					.build();
			
			LOG.debug("adding keys to cache");
			LOG.debug("key1: {}", cache.get("key1"));
			LOG.debug("key2: {}", cache.get("key2"));
		}

public class ValueResolver<K, V> implements ICacheValueResolver<K, V> {
	
	private static final XLogger LOG = XLoggerFactory.getXLogger(ValueResolver.class);
	
	public ValueResolver() {
		LOG.entry();
		
		LOG.exit();
	}
	
	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	@Override
	public V resolve(K key) {
		LOG.entry(key);
		
		String result = key + "value";
		
		return (V) LOG.exit(result);
	}

}

Road to nowhere part 2.

Previous example worked because I was caching all groups from LDAP (emphasis on ALL).
When you want to cache something that is not ALL you need a context...

I looked at BasicCache class and if only method getResolver() was declared as public there would be a way to initialize the ValueResolver, but unfortunately it is protected.
Let's try overriding it:

package io.poc.scout.authentication;

import java.util.Map;

import org.eclipse.scout.rt.platform.cache.BasicCache;
import org.eclipse.scout.rt.platform.cache.ICacheValueResolver;

public class MyBasicCache<K, V> extends BasicCache<K, V> {

	public MyBasicCache(String cacheId, ICacheValueResolver<K, V> resolver, Map<K, V> cacheMap,
			boolean atomicInsertion) {
		super(cacheId, resolver, cacheMap, atomicInsertion);
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	}
	
	@Override
	public ICacheValueResolver<K, V> getResolver() {
		return super.getResolver();
	}

}


CacheBuilder change:
				.withAdditionalCustomWrapper(MyBasicCache.class)



But that ends up with NullPointerException on CacheBuilder.build(). Why?
IMHO, this looks like a bug...

		// it is:
		withAdditionalCustomWrapper(Class<? extends ICache> cacheClass, Object...arguments)
		
		// expected
		withAdditionalCustomWrapper(Class<? extends AbstractCacheWrapper> cacheClass, Object...arguments)



So, that ended up with dead end...
I am not desperate enough to re-implement entire BasicCache class. (yet)

Road to nowhere part 3.

I went through test cases for cache on github, and the ValueResolver can be anonymous class...
This works, but only in one thread. This is not thread safe.
Another dead end...

Victory lap?

I really want to avoid re-implementation of BasicCache, and that is with assumption that CacheBuilder.withAdditionalCustomWrapper() works the way I think it is working. If not that would mean re-implementation of CacheBuilder too...

And than it hit me, what if I poke with the Key Object: who said it has to be String? What if I use it to encapsulate whatever needs to be passed to ValueResolver...
But as a key, proper implementations of hashCode() and equals() has to be provided.

This way even ValueResolver does not have to be an anonymous class (I am not a big fan of those)

What I will be passing to ValueResolver?
* previous value. If I am caching number of events
* connection/session (db, ldap). Usually at the time of getting data from cache I already have working connection/session
* context of what I am getting, i.e. ldap dn of user or group. Getting everything is unusual...

Below is working example. It is AccessControler with "ban" option after specified number of failed login attempts. Ban is for IP address for a specified amount of time. Cache is used to store number of failed login attempts.

If I have missed something, or there is a better way of using scout caches, I'd be happy to read some comments.

KeyContexObject

public class KeyContexObject {
	
	
	private String key = null;
	private Integer previousValue = null;
	private Object ctx = null;
	
	
	public KeyContexObject(String key) {
		super();
		this.key = key;
	}
	
	
	public String getKey() {
		return key;
	}
	
	public Integer getPreviousValue() {
		return previousValue;
	}
	
	public void setPreviousValue(Integer previousValue) {
		this.previousValue = previousValue;
	}
	
	public Object getCtx() {
		return ctx;
	}
	
	public void setCtx(Object ctx) {
		this.ctx = ctx;
	}
	
	
	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "KeyContexObject [key=" + key + "]";
	}

	@Override
	public int hashCode() {
		return new HashCodeBuilder(307, 311).append(key).toHashCode();
	}

	@Override
	public boolean equals(Object obj) {
		if (this == obj) { return true; }
		if ( (obj == null) || (getClass() != obj.getClass()) ) { return false; }
		
		KeyContexObject other = (KeyContexObject) obj;
		
		return new EqualsBuilder()
				.append(key, other.getKey())
				.isEquals();
	}
