GetObjectsInRegion Method not working with ReadThrough Data Provider

Question

Hi,

I'm testing my application against the AppFabric Cache v1.1 and noticed that the Cache wasn't returning data when I tried to retrieve all values in a Region.  However, the Get method returned a value...

After some troubleshooting, I noticed that if Get method will use the ReadThrough capability to retrieve data from a backend data store; but the GetObjectsInRegion method doesn't.  It only returns values that are in memory and never triggers a call to the ReadThrough Provider.

My question: is this the way this method is supposed to function?  If so, couldn't this cause problems in an application thinking its retrieving all data in a region when Expired and Evicted values won't be created...

I'd appreciate any information from anyone who's experienced this issue in v1.1.

Thanks!

Hi,

ReadThrugh will only work with key based APIs. GetObjectInRegion() won't read from the back-end in case item is not in cache.

You can use BulkGet method to do read-through for set of items .
