13.2. Creating CacheManagers

Procedure 13.1. Configure a New RemoteCacheManager

import org.infinispan.client.hotrod.RemoteCache;
import org.infinispan.client.hotrod.RemoteCacheManager;
import org.infinispan.client.hotrod.configuration.Configuration;
import org.infinispan.client.hotrod.configuration.ConfigurationBuilder;

Configuration conf = new 
ConfigurationBuilder().addServer().host("localhost").port(11222).build();
RemoteCacheManager manager = new RemoteCacheManager(conf);
RemoteCache defaultCache = manager.getCache();

1. Use the ConfigurationBuilder() constructor to create a new configuration builder. The .addServer() method adds a remote server, configured via the .host(<hostname|ip>) and .port(<port>) properties.
2. Create a new RemoteCacheManager using the supplied configuration.
3. Retrieve the default cache from the remote server.

Procedure 13.2. Create a New Embedded Cache Manager

1. Create a configuration XML file. For example, create the my-config-file.xml file on the classpath (in the resources/ folder) and add the configuration information in this file.
2. Use the following programmatic configuration to create a cache manager using the configuration file:

   EmbeddedCacheManager manager = new DefaultCacheManager("my-config-file.xml");
   Cache defaultCache = manager.getCache();

Procedure 13.3. Use CDI to Create a New EmbeddedCacheManager

1. Specify a default configuration:

   public class Config
      @Produces
      public EmbeddedCacheManager defaultCacheManager() {
         ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();          
         Configuration configuration = builder.eviction().strategy(EvictionStrategy.LRU).maxEntries(100).build();
         return new DefaultCacheManager(configuration);
      }
   }

2. Inject the default cache manager.

   <!-- Additional configuration information here -->
   @Inject
   EmbeddedCacheManager cacheManager;
   <!-- Additional configuration information here -->
