All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, IdentityMap
Direct Known Subclasses:
HardCacheWeakIdentityMap, SoftIdentityMap

public class WeakIdentityMap extends FullIdentityMap

Purpose: A WeakIdentityMap holds all objects referenced by the application only. The weak identity map is similar to the full identity map except for the fact that it allows full garbage collection.

Responsibilities:

  • Guarantees identity.
  • Allows garbage collection.
Since:
TOPLink/Java 1.0

    • cleanupDeadCacheKeys

      protected void cleanupDeadCacheKeys()
      Search for any cache keys that have been garbage collected and remove them. This must be done because although the objects held by the cache keys will garbage collect, the keys themselves will not and must be cleaned up. This is a linear operation so is amortized through the cleanupCount to occur only once per cycle averaging to make the total time still constant.
    • createCacheKey

      public CacheKey createCacheKey(Object primaryKey, Object object, Object writeLockValue, long readTime)
      Description copied from class: AbstractIdentityMap
      Create the correct type of CacheKey for this map.
      Overrides:
      createCacheKey in class AbstractIdentityMap
    • putCacheKeyIfAbsent

      protected CacheKey putCacheKeyIfAbsent(CacheKey searchKey)
      Need to check for cleanup on put.
      Overrides:
      putCacheKeyIfAbsent in class FullIdentityMap
    • checkCleanup

      protected void checkCleanup()
      Check if garbage collected cache keys need to be cleaned up.
