Annotation Interface CacheObjectAttribute

An attribute that indicates that the property or class to which it applies are available for queries.

When you annotate selected methods in a class with CacheObjectAttribute you indicate that the return values of those methods are used by the ScaleOut in-memory data grid when query requests are performed.

The methods annotated should be public and have no parameters. Static methods are not allowed. The return type must be serializable. If the method signature is illegal, a ObjectIndexAttributeException will be thrown. While you can annotate the methods of interfaces with CacheObjectAttribute, type signature information for interfaces is never saved in the StateServer property index.

Sample class with CacheObjectAttributes:

  public class MyClass implements Serializable {
      String name;
      int number;
      MyClass() {
      }

      @CacheObjectAttribute(HashIndexPriority.HighPriorityHashable)
      public String getName() {
          return name;
      }

      @CacheObjectAttribute
      public int getNumber() {
          return number;
      }
  }
