|---|---|
void |
clear()
Remove all mappings from the cache.
|
void |
evict(java.lang.Object key)
Evict the mapping for this key from this cache if it is present.
|
Cache.ValueWrapper |
get(java.lang.Object key)
Return the value to which this cache maps the specified key.
|
<T> T |
get(java.lang.Object key,
java.util.concurrent.Callable<T> valueLoader)
Return the value to which this cache maps the specified key, obtaining
that value from
valueLoader if necessary. |
<T> T |
get(java.lang.Object key,
java.lang.Class<T> type)
Return the value to which this cache maps the specified key,
generically specifying a type that return value will be cast to.
|
java.lang.String |
getName()
Return the cache name.
|
java.lang.Object |
getNativeCache()
Return the underlying native cache provider.
|
void |
put(java.lang.Object key,
java.lang.Object value)
Associate the specified value with the specified key in this cache.
|
Cache.ValueWrapper |
putIfAbsent(java.lang.Object key,
java.lang.Object value)
Atomically associate the specified value with the specified key in this cache
if it is not set already.

java.lang.Object getNativeCache()
Cache.ValueWrapper get(java.lang.Object key)
Returns null if the cache contains no mapping for this key;
otherwise, the cached value (which may be null itself) will
be returned in a Cache.ValueWrapper.

a cached null value. A straight null being
returned means that the cache contains no mapping for this key.get(Object, Class)<T> T get(java.lang.Object key,

Note: This variant of get does not allow for differentiating
between a cached null value and no cache entry found at all.
Use the standard get(Object) variant for that purpose instead.

a simple substitute for the conventional "if cached, return; otherwise
create, cache and return" pattern.
If possible, implementations should ensure that the loading operation
is synchronized so that the specified valueLoader is only called
once in case of concurrent access on the same key.
If the valueLoader throws an exception, it is wrapped in

If the cache previously contained a mapping for this key, the old value is replaced by the specified value.

This is equivalent to:
Object existingValue = cache.get(key);
if (existingValue == null) {
cache.put(key, value);
return null;
} else {
return existingValue;
}
except that the action is performed atomically. While all out-of-the-box
CacheManager implementations are able to perform the put atomically,
the operation may also be implemented in two steps, e.g. with a check for
presence and a subsequent put, in a non-atomic way. Check the documentation
of the native cache implementation that you are using for more details.key - the key with which the specified value is to be associatedvalue - the value to be associated with the specified keynull itself), or also null if the cache did not contain any
mapping for that key prior to this call. Returning null is therefore
an indicator that the given value has been associated with the key.void evict(java.lang.Object key)
