Method Detail

getServiceConfigurations

java.util.Collection<ServiceConfiguration<?>> getServiceConfigurations()

Not sure whether this should be exposed on this interface really.

Returns:

unmodifiable collection of service configuration related to the cache

getKeyType

java.lang.Class<K> getKeyType()

The type of the key for the cache.

Returns:

a non null value, where Object.class is the widest type

getValueType

java.lang.Class<V> getValueType()

The type of the value held in the cache.

Returns:

a non null value, where Object.class is the widest type

getEvictionVeto

EvictionVeto<? super K,? super V> getEvictionVeto()

The EvictionVeto predicate function.

Entries which pass this predicate must be ignored by the eviction process.

Returns:

the eviction veto predicate

getEvictionPrioritizer

EvictionPrioritizer<? super K,? super V> getEvictionPrioritizer()

The EvictionPrioritizer comparator.

This comparator function determines the order in which entries are considered for eviction.

Returns:

the eviction prioritizer

getClassLoader

java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader()

The ClassLoader for this cache. This ClassLoader will be used to instantiate cache level services as well as deserializing cache entries when required.

Returns:

the cache ClassLoader

getExpiry

Expiry<? super K,? super V> getExpiry()

Get the expiration policy instance for the Cache.

Returns:

the Expiry to configure

getResourcePools

ResourcePools getResourcePools()

Get the resource pools the Cache can make use of.

Returns:

the ResourcePools
