All Implemented Interfaces:
CacheMap, ConfigurableCacheMap, ObservableMap, Map

public class SerializationCache
extends AbstractSerializationCache
implements CacheMap, ConfigurableCacheMap

A version of SerializationMap that implements an LRU policy.

This implementation is partially thread safe. It assumes that multiple threads will not be accessing the same keys at the same time, nor would any other thread be accessing this cache while a clear() operation were going on, for example. In other words, this implementation assumes that access to this cache is either single-threaded or gated through an object like WrapperConcurrentMap.

The primary reason why SerializationCache is a sub-class of SerializationMap instead of combining their functionality is that SerializationMap represents a passive store, and thus does not implement the ObservableMap interface, while SerializationCache represents an active store, and thus clients of it would have to always handle potential events, even if it were not size-limited.

Since:
Coherence 2.2

getUnitFactor in interface ConfigurableCacheMap
Returns:
