Class StateManager

java.lang.Object

gr.uoa.di.madgik.commons.state.StateManager

public class StateManager
extends Object

The StateManager class is a utility class serving as the entry point to the State Store Repository utility. Its purpose is to interface between clients and a persistency key-value system to enable clients to stroe state they may need in case of restarts or simply as lognterm or temporary storage without needing to directly interact with the filesystem or other data stores. The utility uses two files in the local filesystem to persist information it needs. One file is used to store metadata on the entries that are stored and the other tha actual payload of the provided entries. The files that are used are retrived through the ConfigurationManager where the StateManager expects to find under the StateManager.StateStoreInfo key an instnace of the StateStoreInfo class holding the files to use. The StateStoreData instnace also expects to find some information in the ConfigurationManager. The actual markup that needs to be stored in the configuration file is shown below

Different types of entries can be stored to the State Store Repository whose values will be retrieved and storerd with different ways. These types are the ones depicted by the StateStoreRegistryKey.EntryType enumeration. The StateManager provides serialized access to its resources. TODO Add functionality to compress data before storing them TODO More sophisticated CleanUp initiation policy

Compact

public static void Compact()
                    throws Exception

In case of deletes and updates in the registry and data file, there will be data kept in the files that are no longer needed but simply remain increrasing the size of the repository files. This method reorganizes the registry and data files into new temporary files using StateStoreRegistry.MoveToClean() and StateStoreData.MoveToClean(java.util.Map) methods, updates the StateStoreRegistryKey entries in the registry file, removes the old repository files, and renames the new clean ones to the ones dictated by StateStoreInfo

Throws:

Exception - The cleanup could not be perofrmed
