Method Detail

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Maps the specified key to the specified value in this Map. Neither the key nor the value can be null.

The value can be retrieved by calling the get method with a key that is equal to the original key.

Specified by:

put in interface Cache

Specified by:

put in class AbstractBaseCache

Parameters:

key - the Map key.

value - the value.

Returns:

the previous value of the specified key in this Map, or null if it did not have one.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the key or value is null.

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)

Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped in this Map.

Specified by:

get in interface Cache

Specified by:

get in class AbstractBaseCache

Parameters:

key - - a key in the Map.

Returns:

the value to which the key is mapped in this Map; null if the key is not mapped to any value in this Map.

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object key)

Removes the key (and its corresponding value) from this Map. This method does nothing if the key is not in the Map.

Specified by:

remove in interface Cache

Specified by:

remove in class AbstractBaseCache

Parameters:

key - the key that needs to be removed.

Returns:

the value to which the key had been mapped in this Map, or null if the key did not have a mapping.

elements

public java.util.Enumeration elements()

Returns an enumeration of the values in this LRU map. Use the Enumeration methods on the returned object to fetch the elements sequentially.

Specified by:

elements in interface Cache

Specified by:

elements in class AbstractBaseCache

Returns:

an enumeration of the values in this Map.

Enumeration

expire

public void expire(java.lang.Object key)

Remove the object identified by key from the cache.

Specified by:

expire in interface Cache

Overrides:

expire in class AbstractBaseCache

Parameters:

key - the key that needs to be removed.

dispose

protected void dispose(java.lang.Object o)

This method is called when an object is disposed. Override this method if you interested in the disposed object.

Overrides:

dispose in class AbstractBaseCache

Parameters:

o - - the disposed object

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object key)

Description copied from class: AbstractBaseCache

Indicates whether the cache holds value object mapped to the specified key.

Specified by:

contains in interface Cache

Specified by:

contains in class AbstractBaseCache

Parameters:

key - - A key identifying a value object.

Returns:

True if the cache holds a value object for the specified key, false otherwise.

size

public int size()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map.

clear

public void clear()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Removes all mappings from this map.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.

Returns:

True if this map contains no key-value mappings

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

Description copied from interface: Cache

Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key

Parameters:

key - A key object.

Returns:

true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: Cache

Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. This operation will probably require time linear to the cache size for most implementations of the Cache interface.

Parameters:

value - The object value.

Returns:

true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value

values

public java.util.Collection values()

Returns:

putAll

public void putAll(java.util.Map aMap)

Description copied from interface: Cache

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map (optional operation).

Parameters:

aMap - The map to be copied.

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Returns a set view of the keys contained in this map.

Returns:

A set view of all the keys.

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map.

Returns:

A set view of all the value objects.

initialize

public void initialize()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Lyfe-cycle method to allow custom initialization of cache implementations

See Also:

Cache.initialize()

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: Cache

Life-cycle method to allow custom resource cleanup for a cache implementation

Specified by:

close in interface Cache

Specified by:

close in class AbstractBaseCache

Cache.close()
