Hi Raybao,
It's basically 2 lines:
CompositeCacheManager ccm =
CompositeCacheManager.getUnconfiguredInstance();
ccm.configure(configurationProps);
..where configurationProps is a Properties object which you have built.
Take a look at the JavaDocs for the project here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jcs/apidocs/index.html
Usually you'll only deal with the JCS class, but for more advanced usage
(like this) browsing the APIs in other JCS packages is a good place to
start.
Good luck & Best regards,
Niall
