cache2k 1.1.3.Alpha

New and Noteworthy

• rename cache2k-impl to cache2k-core. That should be more intuitive for containing the actual “core” cache implementation in case there are more cache2k-xy jars in the classpath.
• XSD schema for the XML configuration

Possible breakages

• Renaming of method on MutableCacheEntry: setExpiry to setExpiryTime
• JMX support is not enabled by default any more. It can be enabled per cache or globally, see the Statistics - cache2k Use Guide
• improve generic type parameters in methods related to cache type configuration, affected methods: Cache2kConfiguration.setKeyType, Cache2kConfiguration.setValueType, CacheType
• CacheEntry.getLastModifiedTime is not supported any more. Permanently throws exception, see: CacheEntry.getLastModifications - cache2k API documentation
• Cache2kBuilder.disableLastModificationTime: deprecated, has no effect any more. Logic is reversed. The feature needs to be switched on when needed via recordRefreshTime.
• ConfigurationSectionContainer: Implements collection interface, method add returns booleans.

Fixes and Improvements

• JCache speedup: Do not support online listener attachment by default if in cache2k configuration mode. See JCache Optimizations and Semantics - cache2k Use Guide
• Cache.removeIfEquals statistics: count miss and hit consistently
• Exception propagation of CacheEntry.getValue covered by exception propagator again
• JCache configuration: switch to cache2k semantics whenever a cache2k configuration file is present (before either a default or cache section needed to be present)
• JCache, toString(): print useful toString() output for a JCache cache, delegates to the underlying cache2k cache
• Cache2kBuilder.recordRefreshTime: Record time of last update or modification of an entry and make it available via `MutableCacheEntry.getRefreshTime
• consolidate the output of the cache coordinates in the toString outputs
• Cache2kConfiguration: add setters for collections (listeners and sections) to better integrate with other generic configuration code like Springs’ bean XML configuration.
