Class EternalExpiryPolicy<K,V>

java.lang.Object

javax.cache.expiry.EternalExpiryPolicy<K,V>

Type Parameters:

K - the type of cache keys

V - the type of cache values

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ExpiryPolicy<K,V>

public final class EternalExpiryPolicy<K,V>
extends Object
implements ExpiryPolicy<K,V>, Serializable

The eternal ExpiryPolicy specifies that Cache Entries won't expire. This however doesn't mean they won't be expired if an underlying implementation needs to free-up resources where by it may choose to expire entries that are not due to expire.

Method Detail

factoryOf

public static <K,V> Factory<ExpiryPolicy<? super K,? super V>> factoryOf()

Obtains a Factory for an Eternal ExpiryPolicy.

Returns:

a Factory for an Eternal ExpiryPolicy.

getExpiryForCreatedEntry

public Duration getExpiryForCreatedEntry(Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry)

Gets the duration before the newly Cache.Entry is considered expired.

This method is called by the caching implementation after a Cache.Entry is created, but before the said entry is added to a cache, to determine the Duration before the said entry expires. If a Duration.ZERO is returned the Cache.Entry is considered to be already expired and will not be added to the Cache.

Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.

Specified by:

getExpiryForCreatedEntry in interface ExpiryPolicy<K,V>

Parameters:

entry - the cache entry that was created

Returns:

the new duration until the entry expires

getExpiryForAccessedEntry

public Duration getExpiryForAccessedEntry(Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry)

Gets the duration before the accessed Cache.Entry is considered expired.

This method is called by the caching implementation after a Cache.Entry is accessed to determine the Duration before the said entry expires in the future. If a Duration.ZERO is returned the Cache.Entry will be considered expired for future access. Returning null will result in no change to the previously understood expiry Duration.

Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.

Specified by:

getExpiryForAccessedEntry in interface ExpiryPolicy<K,V>

Parameters:

entry - the cache entry that was accessed

Returns:

the new duration until the entry expires

getExpiryForModifiedEntry

public Duration getExpiryForModifiedEntry(Cache.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry)

Gets the duration before the modified Cache.Entry is considered expired.

This method is called by the caching implementation after a Cache.Entry is modified to determine the Duration before the updated entry expires. If a Duration.ZERO is returned the Cache.Entry is considered already expired. Returning null will result in no change to the previously understood expiry Duration.

Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.

Specified by:

getExpiryForModifiedEntry in interface ExpiryPolicy<K,V>

Parameters:

entry - the cache entry that was modified

Returns:

the new duration until the entry expires
