Hi, IMHO, you can implement an IElementEventHandler, which can be trigger at certain events including cache timeout, and you can do your deleting files actions then.
rpqCache = JCS.getInstance(RPQ); IElementEventHandler timeoutHandler = new RPQCacheTimeoutHandler(); IElementAttributes attrs = rpqCache.getDefaultElementAttributes(); attrs.addElementEventHandler(timeoutHandler); You may refer to JCS's official document. it has a chapter for element event handling. Hope it can help~ Thanks & Regards David (HASE B2G, Ext 7859) "Zohar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/28/2008 09:38 PM Mail Size: 5407 Please respond to "JCS Users List" <jcs-users@jakarta.apache.org> To <jcs-users@jakarta.apache.org> cc Subject entry removal event Our Ref Your Ref Hello, I'm new to JCS, so please accept the usual grabble... I need to use JCS to cache data regarding files I use in my system. I don't think it's necessary to keep the files themselves in cache, just their path. When a file's cache entry is deleted (e.g., was used too long ago), I need to delete the underlying file itself. How do I do that? Thanks, Zohar. ----------------------------------------- ****************************************************************** This message originated from the Internet.
