Member Configuration

6.0-SNAPSHOT 5.5 5.4 5.3 5.2 5.1 5.0

User Code Namespaces are referenced by name, and can be statically configured in the Hazelcast configuration file. You can specify JAR, JARS IN ZIP, and CLASS resources in the configuration file.

To configure User Code Namespaces using the hazelcast configuration file, in either XML or YAML format, complete the following steps:

  1. If not already open, open the hazelcast configuration file in your preferred editor and scroll to the User Code Namespaces section

  2. If required, add a class-filter to verify classes when loaded into the class loader during namespace deployment

    An example class filter is included in the sample below. For further information on the configuration of the class-filter, see the Configuring Serializers topic.

  3. Define the name of the namespace under the line in which you enabled User Code Namespaces, as follows:

    • XML

    • YAML

    <user-code-namespaces enabled="true">
    <class-filter defaults-disabled="true">
        <whitelist>
            <class>example.Foo</class>
            <package>com.acme.app</package>
            <prefix>com.hazelcast.</prefix>
            <prefix>java.</prefix>
            <prefix>javax.</prefix>
            <prefix>[</prefix>
        </whitelist>
        <blacklist>
            <class>com.acme.app.BeanComparator</class>
        </blacklist>
    </class-filter>
    <namespace name="myNameSpace">
    </namespace>
</user-code-namespaces>
    user-code-namespaces:
   enabled: true
   class-filter:
      defaults-disabled: true
      whitelist:
        class:
          - example.Foo
        package:
          - com.acme.app
        prefix:
          - com.hazelcast.
          - java.
          - javax.
          - \[
      blacklist:
        class:
          - com.acme.app.BeanComparator
   name-spaces:
      myNameSpace: []

  4. Define the resources

    To define a resource, you must provide the resource type, and the location (URL) in which the resource can be found. You can also provide an identifier for the resource. If you do not provide an identifier, the specified URL is used.

    You can define multiple User Code Namespaces, if required, by repeating steps 3 and 4 for your other namespaces.

    The resource type can be JAR (jar), JARS_IN_ZIP (jars-in-zip), or CLASS ('class'); the following extract provides examples for these resource types:

    • XML

    • YAML

    <user-code-namespaces enabled="true">
    ...
    <namespace name="myNameSpace">
        <jar id="jarID">
            <url>file:///hazelcast/src/class/usercodedeployment/MyJarFile.jar</url>
        </jar>
        <jars-in-zip id="MyJARsInZIPFileID">
            <url>file:///hazelcast/src/class/usercodedeployment/MyJarZIP.zip</url>
        </jars-in-zip>
        <class id="classId">
          <url>file:///hazelcast/src/class/usercodedeployment/MyClass.class</url>
        </class>
    </namespace>
</user-code-namespaces>
    user-code-namespaces:
   enabled: true
   ...
   name-spaces:
      myNameSpace:
       - id: jarID
         resource-type: JAR
         url: "file:///yoursrc/class/usercodedeployment/MyJarFile.jar"
       - id: MyJARsInZIPFileID
         resource-type: JARS_IN_ZIP
         url: "file:///yoursrc/class/usercodedeployment/MyJarZIP.zip"
       - id: classId
         resource-type: CLASS
         url: "file:///yoursrc/class/usercodedeployment/MyClass.class"

  5. Save the file

Before you can use these namespaces, you must update your data structure configuration to identify the namespace it will use. For further information on configuring the namespace used by your data structure, see the Data Structures topic.

You can configure the default namespace as a fallback for situations where the data structure does not have a defined namespace. For further information on configuring the default namespace, see the Non-associated Namespaces topic.
