Besides Scoping to Join Clusters and Namespacing, which are implemented using the URI feature of the
specification, all other extended operations are required to retrieve the com.hazelcast.cache.ICache interface instance from
the JCache javax.cache.Cache instance. For Hazelcast, both interfaces are implemented on the same object instance. It
is recommended that you stay with the specification method to retrieve the ICache version, since ICache might be subject to change without notification.
To retrieve or unwrap the ICache instance, you can execute the following code example:
CachingProvider cachingProvider = Caching.getCachingProvider();
CacheManager cacheManager = cachingProvider.getCacheManager();
Cache<Object, Object> cache = cacheManager.getCache( ... );
ICache<Object, Object> unwrappedCache = cache.unwrap( ICache.class );
After unwrapping the Cache instance into an ICache instance, you have access to all of the following operations, e.g.,
ICache Async Methods and ICache Convenience Methods.
