Class ExpirationAttributes

java.lang.Object
  com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.ExpirationAttributes

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataSerializable, Serializable

public class ExpirationAttributes
extends Object
implements DataSerializable

Immutable parameter object for accessing and setting the attributes associated with timeToLive and idleTimeout. If the expiration action is not specified, it defaults to ExpirationAction.INVALIDATE. If the timeout is not specified, it defaults to zero (which means to never timeout).

Since:

3.0

                                           throws IOException,
                                                  ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

fromData

public void fromData(DataInput in)
              throws IOException,
                     ClassNotFoundException

Description copied from interface: DataSerializable

Reads the state of this object as primitive data from the given DataInput.

Specified by:

fromData in interface DataSerializable

Throws:

IOException - A problem occurs while reading from in

ClassNotFoundException - A class could not be loaded while reading from in

toData

public void toData(DataOutput out)
            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: DataSerializable

Writes the state of this object as primitive data to the given DataOutput.

Since 5.7 it is possible for any method call to the specified DataOutput to throw GemFireRethrowable. It should not be caught by user code. If it is it must be rethrown.

Specified by:

toData in interface DataSerializable

Throws:

IOException - A problem occurs while writing to out
