Question

I have an xml config file for setting up gemfire as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:gfe="http://www.springframework.org/schema/gemfire"
    xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/gemfire http://www.springframework.org/schema/gemfire/spring-gemfire.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">

    <context:component-scan
        base-package="com.mycompany.data.testcache" />
    <context:annotation-config />

    <util:properties id="props" location="classpath:test-cache.properties">
        <prop key="log-level">info</prop>
    </util:properties>

    <gfe:cache id="gemfire-cache" properties-ref="props" />

    <gfe:local-region id="region1">
        <gfe:cache-listener ref="listener" />
    </gfe:local-region>

    <bean id="listener"
        class="com.mycompany.data.TestLoggingCacheListener" />
</beans>

When I try to load this config file, I see the below exception..

When I remove the id attribute from

<gfe:cache id="gemfire-cache" properties-ref="props" />

and just give

<gfe:cache properties-ref="props" />

it works fine. When I specify id attribute it throws t
Can any one please help me in

Answer 1

If you use an id attribute with gfe:cache element, then you have to use cache-ref attribute to reference it:

<gfe:cache id="gemfire-cache" properties-ref="props" />

<gfe:local-region id="region1" cache-ref="gemfire-cache">
    <gfe:cache-listener ref="listener" />
</gfe:local-region>

Otherwise, a default id is used, which is “gemfireCache” (that is why you are seeing “gemfireCache” in the error message).
