    Modifier and Type Interface Description
    static interface  MemoizeCache.ValueProvider<K,​V>
    Represents a provider used to create value
  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type Method Description
    void cleanUpNullReferences()
    Invoked when some of the held SoftReferences have been evicted by the garbage collector and so should be removed from the cache.
    V get​(K key)
    Gets a value from the cache
    default V getAndPut​(K key, MemoizeCache.ValueProvider<? super K,​? extends V> valueProvider)
    Try to get the value from cache.
    V put​(K key, V value)
    Associates the specified value with the specified key in the cache.
  • Method Details

    • put

      V put​(K key, V value)
      Associates the specified value with the specified key in the cache.
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      value - value to be associated with the specified key
      Returns:
      null, or the old value if the key associated with the specified key.
    • get

      V get​(K key)
      Gets a value from the cache
      Parameters:
      key - the key whose associated value is to be returned
      Returns:
      the value, or null, if it does not exist.
    • getAndPut

      default V getAndPut​(K key, MemoizeCache.ValueProvider<? super K,​? extends V> valueProvider)
      Try to get the value from cache. If not found, create the value by MemoizeCache.ValueProvider and put it into the cache, at last return the value.
      Parameters:
      key -
      valueProvider - provide the value if the associated value not found
      Returns:
      the cached value
    • cleanUpNullReferences

      void cleanUpNullReferences()
      Invoked when some of the held SoftReferences have been evicted by the garbage collector and so should be removed from the cache. The implementation must ensure that concurrent invocations of all methods on the cache may occur from other threads and thus should protect any shared resources.
