Newbee - hierarchical caching and getMatching method

[Raj <nw...@yahoo.com>]

Hello All,

I am trying to use hierarchical storage using JCS.

I have added objects to cache with following code.
testCache.put ("A:1:a", object1);
testCache.put ("A:1:b", object2);
testCache.put ("A:2:a", object3);

I looking to get the first two objects using the following code
Map map = testCache.getMatching("A:1:");

This is returning empty map. Thought it would do a pattern matching with begins with
and use colon as separator, as per the JCS web page?

However this does return a one item, as it should:
Map map = testCache.getMatching("A:1:a");

What am i missing?, does matching only match exact? please let me know. 

Thanks in advance,
Raj
