<title>Upgrading from JCS 1.3 to 2.0</title>

<section name="Upgrading from JCS 1.3 to 2.0">
<p>
This document lists a number of things that changed in Commons JCS
2.0.
</p>
<subsection name="Package Names and Maven Coordinates">
<p>
The main difference is the move to the Apache Commons project
which lead to the change of the package names and Maven coordinates.
So in all your code replace
<source><![CDATA[
import org.apache.jcs.*;
]]></source>
with
<source><![CDATA[
import org.apache.commons.jcs.*;
]]></source>
The Maven coordinates change from
<source><![CDATA[
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.jcs</groupId>
<artifactId>jcs</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
</dependency>
]]></source>
to
<source><![CDATA[
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-jcs-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
]]></source>
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Change Cache Access Object">
<p>
JCS now uses different cache access objects depending on
if you want to use cache groups or not. This was necessary
because the cache access objects are now generic which saves
you all the casts but doesn't allow different objects in the
same cache anymore. You now use
<source><![CDATA[
import org.apache.commons.jcs.JCS;
import org.apache.commons.jcs.access.CacheAccess;
import org.apache.commons.jcs.access.GroupCacheAccess;
CacheAccess<String, City> cityCache = JCS.getInstance( "city" );
GroupCacheAccess<String, Country> countryCache = JCS.getGroupCacheInstance( "country" );
]]></source>
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Adjusting the Configuration">
<p>
Here again, change all package names in configuration entries
from e.g.
<source><![CDATA[
jcs.default.cacheattributes=org.apache.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes
]]></source>
to
<source><![CDATA[
jcs.default.cacheattributes=org.apache.commons.jcs.engine.CompositeCacheAttributes
]]></source>
and all <code>MaxLifeSeconds</code> lines to <code>MaxLife</code>
like
<source><![CDATA[
jcs.default.elementattributes.MaxLifeSeconds=7
]]></source>
to
<source><![CDATA[
jcs.default.elementattributes.MaxLife=7
]]></source>
</p>
<p>
The <code>IndexedDiskCache</code> recycle bin is no longer limited in size.
So remove all references to <code>MaxRecycleBinSize</code> from the configuration files.
