Spymemcached: Add data

Following step-by-step procedure explains how to add data to cache.

Step 1: Get MemcachedClient instance. It is a client to a memcached server. Following statement is used to define MemcachedClient.

MemcachedClient client = new MemcachedClient(new InetSocketAddress(hostname, portNum));

Step 2: Once you got the MemcachedClient instance, you can able to write data to server and read data from server. Spymemcached provides following method to add data to server.

OperationFuture<Boolean> add(String key, int exp, Object o)

Above method add an object in the cache, if it is not exists. ‘exp’ is the expiry time of the object in seconds, this number of seconds may not exceed 60*60*24*30 (number of seconds in 30 days).

Step 3: After that, you can call the get method of MemcachedClient instance to get the data associated with given key.

public Object get(String key)

Above method return an object associated with given key. If the key don’t exist in memcached server, then it return null.

Following is the complete working application.

Output
