cache2k 1.1.1.Alpha

New and Noteworthy

• cache2k is now delivered in two jar files, cache2k-api contains the API and cache2k-impl the implementation. Both jar files need to be present at runtime. GH#80
• Tiny API changes to improve integration with other frameworks

API Changes

• Cache: Cache.getSimpleEntry, Cache.peekSimpleEntry
• New exception: UnknownCacheException
• Cache2kBuilder.build throws IllegalStateException if cache with identical name already is created

Fixes and Improvements

• CacheEntry.getValue(): does not make use of the configurable exception propagator any more to simplify internal code
• faster access to a cache entry in case only the value is needed via: Cache.getSimpleEntry, Cache.peekSimpleEntry
• async expiry listener: fix potential data inconsistency on the entry value and last modification time
• Rename jar cache2k-all to cache2k-osgi-all. This contains a bundle of the cache2k-api and cache2k-impl jar file and is kept for OSGi environments only. This special variant is likely to be dropped in the future, see: GH#83. This combined jar should not be used any more to avoid potential duplication in the class path.
• change timer implementation, faster operation when expiry is used
• Improve timer robustness by changing thread priorities
• Improve test coverage for timing related features
• Cache2kConfiguration.isExternalConfigurationPresent is now true if there is an XML default configuration
• JCache and XML configuration: allow expireAfterWrite to be configured via XML
• Default configuraton and class loaders: hold separate default configuration per class loader
• CacheManager: add toString() output
• cache2k-impl: Code for XML configuration or JMX support is optional and can be removed, e.g. via ProGuard rules
