Spring descriptor XML file
Use a Spring descriptor XML file to configure and integrate eXtreme Scale with Spring.
In the following sections, each element and attribute of the Spring objectgrid.xsd file is defined. The Spring objectgrid.xsd file is in the ogspring.jar file and the objectgrid namespace com/ibm/ws/objectgrid/spring/namespace. See the Spring objectgrid.xsd file for an example of the descriptor XML schema.

HashIndex element
Use the HashIndex element with Java™ reflection to dynamically introspect objects stored in a map when the objects are updated.

- rangeIndex
- Indicates whether range indexing is enabled. The default value is false.
- fieldAccessAttribute
- Used for non-entity maps. The getter method is used to access the data. The default value is false. If you specify the value as true, the object is accessed using the fields directly.
- POJOKeyIndex
- Used for non-entity maps. The default value is false. If you specify the value as true, the index introspects the object in the key part of the map, which is useful when the key is a composite key and the value does not have the key embedded within it. If you do not set the value or you specify the value as false, the index introspects the object in the value part of the map.
