Create EHCache Programmatically

Image
By
I ran into an issue recently when my EH Caches that I wanted to create and configure using the ehcache.xml was already created. In this situation an exception is thrown by the EHCache cache manager and execution halts.

Alternatively, when it's not possible to use a configuration file ehcache.xml to define the caches, one must resort to creating them programmatically. This is the object of this post.

The code below first checks whether there is a configured cache with the given name, and if not, it proceeds to create one programmatically.


CacheFactory() {
  CacheManager cacheManager = CacheManager.create();

  if (!cacheManager.cacheExists("myCache")) {
    cacheManager.addCache(
      new Cache(
        new CacheConfiguration("myCache", maxEntriesLocalHeap)
          .memoryStoreEvictionPolicy(MemoryStoreEvictionPolicy.LRU)
          .eternal(false)
          .timeToLiveSeconds(timeToLiveSeconds)
          .timeToIdleSeconds(timeToIdleSeconds)
      )
    );
  }
}

The same code above can be replaced by the following ehcache.xml below in order to create the cache myCache:

<ehcache>
    <cache name="myCache"
           eternal="false"
           maxEntriesLocalHeap="20000"
           timeToLiveSeconds="3600"
           timeToIdleSeconds="3600"
           memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU">
    </cache>
</ehcache>

A DD4T.net Implementation - Custom Binary Publisher

By
The default way to publish binaries in DD4T is implemented in class DD4T.Templates.Base.Utils.BinaryPublisher and uses method RenderedItem.AddBinary(Component) . This produces binaries that have their TCM URI as suffix in their filename. In my recent project, we had a requirement that binary file names should be clean (without the TCM URI suffix). Therefore, it was time to modify the way DD4T was publishing binaries. The method in charge with publishing binaries is called PublishItem and is defined in class BinaryPublisher . I therefore extended the BinaryPublisher and overrode method PublishItem. public class CustomBinaryPublisher : BinaryPublisher { private Template currentTemplate; private TcmUri structureGroupUri; In its simplest form, method PublishItem just takes the item and passes it to the AddBinary. In order to accomplish the requirement, we must specify a filename while publishing. This is the file name part of the binary path of Component.BinaryConten

Event System to Create Mapped Structure Groups for Binary Publish

By Unknown
As a continuation of last week's Publish Binaries to Mapped Structure Group , this week's TBB is in fact the Event System part of that solution. Make sure you do check out the previous post first, which explains why and what this Event System does. To reiterate, the Event System intercepts a Multimedia Component save, take its Folder path and create a 1-to-1 mapping of Structure Groups. The original code was written, again, by my colleague Eric Huiza : [ TcmExtension ( "MyEvents" )] public class EventsManager  : TcmExtension {     private Configuration configuration;     private readonly Regex SAFE_DIRNAME_REGEX = new Regex ( @"[\W_]+" );     public EventsManager() {         ExeConfigurationFileMap fileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap ();         fileMap.ExeConfigFilename = Path .GetDirectoryName( Assembly .GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + "\\EventSystem.config" ;         configuration = ConfigurationManager

Running sp_updatestats on AWS RDS database

By
Part of the maintenance tasks that I perform on a MSSQL Content Manager database is to run stored procedure sp_updatestats . exec sp_updatestats However, that is not supported on an AWS RDS instance. The error message below indicates that only the sa  account can perform this: Msg 15247 , Level 16 , State 1 , Procedure sp_updatestats, Line 15 [Batch Start Line 0 ] User does not have permission to perform this action. Instead there are several posts that suggest using UPDATE STATISTICS instead: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/145982/sp-updatestats-vs-update-statistics I stumbled upon the following post from 2008 (!!!), https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/186e3db0-fe37-4c31-b017-8e7c24d19697/spupdatestats-fails-to-run-with-permission-error-under-dbopriveleged-user , which describes a way to wrap the call to sp_updatestats and execute it under a different user: create procedure dbo.sp_updstats with execute as 'dbo' as
