ASP.NET Output Caching
Overview
Ignite cache can be used as an ASP.NET output cache. This can work especially well for web farms where cached output will be shared between web servers.
Installation
-
Binary distribution: add a reference to
Apache.Ignite.AspNet.dll
-
NuGet:
Install-Package Apache.Ignite.AspNet
Launching Ignite Automatically
To start Ignite automatically for output caching, configure it in the web.config file via IgniteConfigurationSection
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="igniteConfiguration" type="Apache.Ignite.Core.IgniteConfigurationSection, Apache.Ignite.Core" />
</configSections>
<igniteConfiguration autoGenerateIgniteInstanceName="true">
<cacheConfiguration>
<cacheConfiguration name='myWebCache' />
</cacheConfiguration>
</igniteConfiguration>
</configuration>
Enable the caching in the web.config
settings:
<system.web>
<caching>
<outputCache defaultProvider="apacheIgnite">
<providers>
<add name="apacheIgnite" type="Apache.Ignite.AspNet.IgniteOutputCacheProvider, Apache.Ignite.AspNet" igniteConfigurationSectionName="igniteConfiguration" cacheName="myWebCache" />
</providers>
</outputCache>
</caching>
</system.web>
Launching Ignite Manually
You can start an Ignite instance manually and specify it’s name in the provider configuration:
<system.web>
<caching>
<outputCache defaultProvider="apacheIgnite">
<providers>
<add name="apacheIgnite" type="Apache.Ignite.AspNet.IgniteOutputCacheProvider, Apache.Ignite.AspNet" cacheName="myWebCache" />
</providers>
</outputCache>
</caching>
</system.web>
The Ignite instance needs to be started before any request is served. Typically this is done in the Application_Start
method of the global.asax
.
See ASP.NET Deployment for web deployment specifics related to the IGNITE_HOME
variable.
