12.5. Wildcard Configuration

Hazelcast supports wildcard configuration of Maps, Queues and Topics. Using an asterisk (*) character in the name, different instances of Maps, Queues and Topics can be configured by a single configuration.

Note that, with a limitation of a single usage, asterisk (*) can be placed anywhere inside the configuration name.

For instance a map named 'com.hazelcast.test.mymap' can be configured using one of these configurations;

<map name="com.hazelcast.test.*">
...
</map>

<map name="com.hazel*">
...
</map>

<map name="*.test.mymap">
...
</map>

<map name="com.*test.mymap">
...
</map>

Or a queue 'com.hazelcast.test.myqueue'

<queue name="*hazelcast.test.myqueue">
...
</queue>

<queue name="com.hazelcast.*.myqueue">
...
</queue>
