Unable to use OSCache new version

Hi all,

I have used OSCache in the past but it seems the lates version had made lot of changes to the way it is used now. I have the following purpose to use it:

I will have property files containing tranlsated data with names like state_hi, state_en, state_tm will containg the translations (english key-lnaguage value pairs) for various Indian state names in Hindi, English and Tamil respectively. In other words the suffix after the unsersocre denotes the language. Once I put these Properties in OSCache (one by one) I  may have to clear the cache:
(1). for a single property file (say state_hi only)
(2). For all properties of a group (say all properties begining with state, i.e.for all languages)
(3).clear all the cache (all keys)

I remember earlier we used to put something in cache like this:

ServletCacheAdministrator cacheAdmin = ServletCacheAdministrator.getInstance(getServletContext());
ServletCache sCache = (ServletCache) cacheadmin.getCache(request, iCacheScope);
String strCacheKey = cacheAdmin.generateEntryKey(strCacheKey, objRequest, iCacheScope);
sCache.putInCache(strCacheKey, objData);

To clear cache, I had used:

sCache.flushPattern(strCacheKey);

I see that flushPattern() has been deprecated and in Cache class new methods suc as putInCache(java.lang.String key, java.lang.Object content, java.lang.String[] groups) have been provided. Unfortunately there is no tutorial on using OSCache API (only guidelines exist to use it as Taglib). I use OSCache using Servlets so I am unable to use it now.

For the three purposes specified in (1),(2) and (3) above how can I use the API classes to put/clear objects in/from cache? Please help.

Thanks for your time. If possible please point me to any online tutorila that covers this.
