Class BackgroundCache<K,V,E extends Exception>

java.lang.Object

com.aoindustries.cache.BackgroundCache<K,V,E>

public class BackgroundCache<K,V,E extends Exception>
extends Object

A cache that is refreshed in the background, implementing only get, put, and size. There is no remove; background cleaning is performed on the underlying map.

When the system is sitting idle, all cache entries are expired and there is zero overhead. Background refreshes only happen on recently used keys.
