Hi Tim,
If you are able to use a String instead of an object as a key you could
take advantage of the following JCS feature. If you have written your
code to use the JCS cache via your own utility helper class, you could
perform the toString conversion of your object key to a String key in
this one place and not have to touch the rest of your code.
Below is from am older response which Aaron gave on the email group to
somebody else and could be just what you are after.
Q: Can I remove multiple entries from Cache in a single go?
A: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 in the 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:" );
Regards,
Simon

Subject: Best practice for linking Cache elements
We have a hierarchical structure of cache elements.
Sites contain pages and page contain components so
when we get a cache invalidation for a site we need to
flush all page and component entries for that site.
Our cache key is not a simple string.
I see there is grouping but comments in the code
say that this is going away.
