All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, IdentityMap

public class SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap
extends HardCacheWeakIdentityMap

Purpose: A SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap is identical to the WeakIdentityMap, however the weak reference can be a performance problem for some types of apps because it can cause too much garbage collection of objects read causing them to be re-read and re-built (this defeats the purpose of the cache). The SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap solves this through also holding a fixed number of objects in memory to improve caching.

Responsibilities:

• Guarantees identity
• Allows garbage collection
• Increases performance by maintaining a fixed size cache of MRU objects when memory is available.
• The default size of the reference cache is the max size.

Since:

TOPLink/Java 1.2
