Procedure 7.4. Replacing a Key Value

  1. The following code searches for keys (named key and key2). If the two specific keys beings searched for are not found, JBoss Data Grid creates two new keys with the specified key names and values.
    cache.putIfAbsent("key", "newValue");
    cache.putIfAbsent("key2", "value2");
    
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. The following code confirms that the value of the stored key equals the value we wanted to store.
    assertEquals(cache.get("key"), "value");
    assertEquals(cache.get("key2"), "value2");
