Interface Summary

Cache<K,V>	A Cache provides storage of data for later fast retrieval.
Cache.Entry<K,V>	A cache entry (key-value pair).
Cache.EntryProcessor<K,V,T>	Allows execution of code which may mutate a cache entry with exclusive access (including reads) to that entry.
Cache.MutableEntry<K,V>	An accessor and mutator to the underlying Cache
CacheLifecycle	Cache resources may have non-trivial initialisation and disposal procedures.
CacheLoader<K,V>	Used when a cache is read-through or when loading data into a cache via the Cache.load(Object) and Cache.loadAll(java.util.Set) methods.
CacheManager	A CacheManager is used for establishing, looking up and managing the lifecycle of zero or more Caches.
CacheManagerFactory	Manages CacheManager instances.
CacheMXBean	A management bean for cache.
CacheStatisticsMXBean	Cache statistics.
CacheWriter<K,V>	A CacheWriter is used for write-through to an underlying resource.
Configuration<K,V>	A read-only representation of a Cache configuration.
ExpiryPolicy<K,V>	Defines functions to determine when cache entries will expire based on creation, access and modification operations.

Class Summary

Caching	A factory for creating CacheManagers using the SPI conventions in the JDK's ServiceLoader For a provider to be discovered, its jar must contain a resource called:
Configuration.Duration	A time duration.
ExpiryPolicy.Accessed<K,V>	A ExpiryPolicy that defines the expiry Configuration.Duration of a Cache Entry based on the last time it was accessed.
ExpiryPolicy.Default<K,V>	The default ExpiryPolicy specifies that Cache Entries won't expire.
ExpiryPolicy.Modified<K,V>	A ExpiryPolicy that defines the expiry Configuration.Duration of a Cache Entry based on the last time it was modified.
MutableConfiguration<K,V>	A simple mutable implementation of a Configuration.

Enum Summary

OptionalFeature	Optional features that may be present in an implementation.
Status	Indicates the lifecycle status of a resource.

Exception Summary

CacheException	Thrown to indicate an exception has occurred in the Cache.
CachingShutdownException	Thrown to indicate an exception has occurred in an aggregate Caching shutdown procedure.
InvalidConfigurationException	An exception to report invalid configuration settings.
