Place a file in cache or property source and read it in Groovy Script

Yes, you can write JSON content to a cached token since you can write any string object. I'm not sure what the character limit might be. 

def scriptCache
scriptCache = this.class.classLoader.loadClass("com.santaba.agent.util.script.ScriptCache").getCache();
String token = scriptCache.get("myjson");
if(token == null){ //the token is empty because it has not been set previously
  //generate the json and set it into a token
  def json = JsonOutput.toJson([name: 'John Doe', age: 42])
  assert json == '{"name":"John Doe","age":42}'
  scriptCache.set("myjson", json);
} else{ //the json has been stored in the cache previously, so let's use it
  println(token)
}

 

to avoid duplicates i'm writing a script that logs certain events and I want to cache the event ID#.  I will probably do something like: 

def compare_event_Ids (eventId) {
scriptCache = this.class.classLoader.loadClass("com.santaba.agent.util.script.ScriptCache").getCache();
String lastEventId = scriptCache.get("lastEventId");
if(lastEventId == null){ //the id is empty because it has not been set previously
  //generate the json and set it into a token
  lastEventId = eventId
  scriptCache.set("lastEventId", lastEventId);
  return true
} else { //the json has been stored in the cache previously, so let's use it
    if (lastEventId < eventId) {
    	lastEventId = eventId
        scriptCash.set("lastEventId", lastEventId);
        return true   
	}
    else {
    	return false
        }
}

(more or less pseudo code, just trying to get the concept to work)

do you think that will work?
