ObjectCache (Technia Value Components (2017.3.0) API Documentation

java.lang.Object
- com.technia.tvc.core.util.ObjectCache<K,V>

```
public class ObjectCache<K,V>
extends java.lang.Object
```
Implements a simple object cache where the behaviour of a specific named instance can be configured through system properties.
Use the ObjectCache(String) constructor to create a named instance. The cache type can then be configured with a property named tvc.core.util.cache.NAME, where name is the name of the cache. Alternatively it's possible to define the default cache type using the tvc.core.util.cache property. The accepted values for these properties are NONE, SOFT, and STRONG. The default type will be STRONG unless the default type has been configured to something else.
Here is a short description on the available types:
- NONE - Objects will not be cached.
- SOFT - Objects will be cached using soft references.
- STRONG - Objects will be cached using strong (actual) references.
