Section Contents

• About Middleware Components
• Database Cache and Persistency — How to persist a space to durable storage, access a space using the Hibernate API, and perform write-through or read-through to RDBMS.
  • Data Loading and Dumping — How an application can load data into the space at some point, and later save it back to other systems.
  • Generic Storage Adapter — Using the Generic SA interfaces to perform write-through or read-through.
  • Hibernate Cache Plugin — Using GigaSpaces together with Hibernate to access a database using complex SQL queries.
  • Mirror Service — Allows different runtime spaces to push write operations in an asynchronous manner into a central service that can aggregate the operations and persist these into a file or a database.
  • Persistency Into Indexed File — Using the command line or GigaSpaces Browser to create a persistent space backed up by an indexed file.
  • Persistency into RDBMS — Persistency configuration files; creating persistent space using JDBC; configuring JDBC connection pool; configuring DB2 7.2.
  • Persistent Space Schema — All the persistency options in the persistent space schema file.
  • RDBMS Read-Through and Write-Through for Map - 5.0 — Using the CacheLoader and CacheStore interfaces.
  • Read-Through and Write-Through — About space write-through and read-through operations and how to configure them by implementing the CacheLoader/Store interface, or by using a standard Hibernate interface.
  • Transient Entries — How to specify that some objects in a persistent space should not be saved to persistent storage.
• Data Grid — The Data Grid allows deployment of all common cache topologies, including synchronous/asynchronous replication and partitioned cache with/without backup, based on an infrastructure of clustered spaces.
  • Clusters Over WAN — Clustering, replication and partitioned replication between physically remote distributed sites.
  • Locating Clustered Space Instances — Using SpaceFinder to search for clustered space/cache instances in the network.
  • Master-Local Space — How to run a two-level cache: a local cache in the physical address space of the application and a master cache in a different process.
  • Running a Space Instance — How to run a space/cache instance in different modes, using SpaceFinder or CacheFinder.
  • Space Cluster Topologies — Deploying common topologies: replicated (sync/async), partitioned (with/without backup), ownership cluster.
  • Space Local View — The space local view proxy maintains a subset of the master space's data, allowing the client to read distributed data without any remote operations.
  • Space Runtime Modes — Transient space, persistent space, central space, embedded space.
• Messaging Grid — The Messaging Grid provides a standard JMS implementation, and functions as a JavaSpaces-based messaging bus. It supports synchronous/asynchronous messaging, P2P, pub/sub, master-worker, and brokered messaging.
  • About Java Messaging Standard — Messaging types, messaging models, synchronous/asynchronous messaging, persistency, message acknowledgement and expiry.
  • Gigaspaces-Mule Integration Package — How the Mule messaging framework interacts with JavaSpaces, downloading and installing the GigaSpaces-Mule integration package.
  • Integrating IBM WSAD with GigaSpaces JMS — Configuring a generic JMS server, destinations and connection factory; setting listener port; defining the custom property.
  • Integrating WebLogic AS with GigaSpaces JMS — Updating startWebLogic.cmd and setDomainEnv.cmd; starting WL server; configuring Foreign JMS Server, JMSConnection Factories, JMSDestination.
  • JMS Configuration — Files that comprise the JMS configuration process; client configuration file; JMS configuration for space, container and cluster.
  • JMS vs. JavaSpaces — A list of scenarios in which one interface or the other is superior.
• SBA - Introduction and Example — An overview and implementation example of Space Based Architecture, a new approach to distributed computing which transforms scalability from dead end to open road.
• Service Grid — The GigaSpaces Service Grid is a dynamic adaptive network architecture which offers dynamic capabilities, policy-based and Quality of Service mechanisms.
  • Developing and Debugging Services with Service Grid
  • Service Grid Administration & Configuration
  • Service Grid Deployment Descriptor — The Service Grid Deployment Descriptor provides the network definition of the deployed application.
  • Service Grid Getting Started
  • Service Grid Management Framework — The Service Grid Management Framework centralizes the management of Service Grid components distributed across the network.
  • Service Grid Tools and Utilities
