Yes, but it is somewhat expensive, since some of the auxiliaries will have to iterate over their keysets. Although all the auxiliaries honor this, it is not part of the auxiliary API. There is no method along the lins of "removeStartingWith", but all the remove methods can do it.
By default, the hierarchical key delimiter used in JCS is a colon. You cannot add a String key that ends with a colon. If you call remove with a String key that ends in a colon, everything that has a key that starts with the argument will be removed. If your keys are in this format TYPE:SOURCE:OBJECT And you put n objects int he cache with keys like this "ABC:123:0" to "ABC:123:n" then you could remove all the obejcts by calling jcs.remove( "ABC:123:" ); Cheers, Aaron --- Rupesh Khandelwal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am using JCS cache for storing objects that I need > to display very > frequently. > > For every entry the key looks like > *LIST_2_AGENT_123981*, > the pattern is like *Type_Source Id_Object > Type_Object ID*. > Total entries following the same pattern evaluates > to *4*10*40*1000* > > Whenever I refresh the data source, I need to remove > all the data > corresponding to it. > To remove all the entries starting with *LIST_2* can > I call remove method > with some key like *LIST_2_** i.e. in general, > *Type|Source Id|** > > Please suggest how can I achieve above requirement > in JCS. > > Regards, > Rupesh K > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
