Class BackgroundCache<K,V,E extends Throwable>

java.lang.Object

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

public class BackgroundCache<K,V,E extends Throwable>
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.

BackgroundCache

public BackgroundCache(String name,
                       Class<? extends E> exceptionClass,

                       long expirationAge,
                       Logger logger)

Parameters:

name - The name resources are based on, such as background thread names.

exceptionClass - The class object used to verify exception types are runtime

refreshInterval - The time between cache entry refreshes

expirationAge - The time the a cache entry will expire if it has not been accessed, the actual expiration may happen after this time as it is only checked during refreshes.
