Setter.

Parameters:

file - new value

getCachefile

public java.io.File getCachefile()

Returns:

the cachefile

isValid

public boolean isValid()

This cache is valid if the cachefile is set.

Specified by:

isValid in interface Cache

Returns:

true if all is ok false otherwise

load

public void load()

Load the cache from underlying properties file.

Specified by:

load in interface Cache

save

public void save()

Saves modification of the cache. Cache is only saved if there is one ore more entries. Because entries can not be deleted by this API, this Cache implementation checks the existence of entries before creating the file for performance optimisation.

save in interface Cache

delete

public void delete()

Deletes the cache and its underlying file.

Specified by:

delete in interface Cache

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)

Returns a value for a given key from the cache.

Specified by:

get in interface Cache

Parameters:

key - the key

Returns:

the stored value

put

public void put(java.lang.Object key,
                java.lang.Object value)

Saves a key-value-pair in the cache.

Specified by:

put in interface Cache

Parameters:

key - the key

value - the value

iterator

public java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> iterator()

Returns an iterator over the keys in the cache.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Cache

Returns:

An iterator over the keys.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Override Object.toString().

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
