Constructor Detail

ModifiedExpiryPolicy

public ModifiedExpiryPolicy(Duration expiryDuration)

Constructs an ModifiedExpiryPolicy ExpiryPolicy.

Parameters:

expiryDuration - the Duration a Cache Entry should exist be before it expires after being modified

Method Detail

factoryOf

public static Factory<ExpiryPolicy> factoryOf(Duration duration)

Obtains a Factory for a Modified ExpiryPolicy.

Parameters:

duration - The expiry duration

Returns:

a Factory for a Modified ExpiryPolicy.

getExpiryForCreation

public Duration getExpiryForCreation()

Gets the Duration before a newly created Cache.Entry is considered expired.

This method is called by a caching implementation after a Cache.Entry is created, but before a Cache.Entry is added to a cache, to determine the Duration before an entry expires. If a Duration.ZERO is returned the new Cache.Entry is considered to be already expired and will not be added to the Cache.

Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.

Specified by:

getExpiryForCreation in interface ExpiryPolicy

Returns:

the new Duration before a created entry expires

getExpiryForAccess

public Duration getExpiryForAccess()

Gets the Duration before an accessed Cache.Entry is considered expired.

This method is called by a caching implementation after a Cache.Entry is accessed to determine the Duration before an entry expires. If a Duration.ZERO is returned a Cache.Entry will be considered immediately expired. Returning null will result in no change to the previously understood expiry Duration.

Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.

Specified by:

getExpiryForAccess in interface ExpiryPolicy

Returns:

the new Duration before an accessed entry expires

getExpiryForUpdate

public Duration getExpiryForUpdate()

Gets the Duration before an updated Cache.Entry is considered expired.

This method is called by the caching implementation after a Cache.Entry is updated to determine the Duration before the updated entry expires. If a Duration.ZERO is returned a Cache.Entry is considered immediately expired. Returning null will result in no change to the previously understood expiry Duration.

Should an exception occur while determining the Duration, an implementation specific default Duration will be used.

Specified by:

getExpiryForUpdate in interface ExpiryPolicy

Returns:

the new Duration before an updated entry expires
