REST gateway example: Creating dynamic maps

When you create a simple data grid, a default map with the same name is created by default. You can also use map templates to create additional maps as your application requires.

Dynamic map creation

The first operation to a map that matches the map template but has not yet been created results in the creation of a new dynamic map. As an example, to create a new dynamic map using last update time named MyMap.LUT, you might use the following URI in a GET, DELETE, or POST operation:
http://myxc10.ibm.com/resources/datacaches/MyDataGrid/MyMap.LUT/a.key
See Dynamic map configuration options for more information about how to name dynamic maps.
